Why UK Charities & Social Enterprises (CSEs) are Joining the Pluggin Ecosystem

"It sounds almost too good to be true, but actually we've joined a very clever infrastructure which is connecting community impact to the billions spent annually by UK public procurement."

We're very different to whatimpact!

See how Pluggin Ecosystem moves beyond simple resource matching and creates a stronger route to long term financial stability.

Feature	whatimpact	Pluggin Ecosystem
CORE MODEL	Matchmaking & CSR Giving	Social Value Marketplace for Public Procurement
RESOURCING	Ad hoc resource requests	Contract linked long term collaborations
PUBLIC SECTOR LINKAGE	Directory for councils	Embedded into public bid scoring & tender evaluation
IMPACT FOCUS	Broad social value, ESG	Buyer Health, Safety, & Resilience Objectives
CSE ROLE	Recipient of resources	Impact Collaborator & strategic partner
COST for CSEs	Free for small, nominal for rest	100% Free, Always

The Verdict: whatimpact acts as a nationwide "matchmaking" marketplace that connects suppliers with a vast database of verified VCSEs to build and report on social value plans efficiently, whereas the Pluggin Ecosystem is a "deep-community" infrastructure that "hardwires" social value collaborations directly into public supply contracts through a "closed-loop" model.

3 Steps to Sustained Support

Build Your Profile

Join and set up your organisation and any number of activities (projects) you seek business support for. We help you map your existing impact to public sector objectives like crime reduction or health improvement.

Enter the Marketplace

We load your Profile onto the marketplace, where it will be found by business suppliers bidding for public sector contracts; who will offer you collaborations to boost their bid social value scores.

Impact Agreement

Whichever business wins the contract, the collaboration bid is converted by us into formal contract agreement, the marketplace then tracks and reports progress with you over the years of contract.

Stop Fundraising.
Start Collaborating.

Join the hand selected community of UK charities who are already making impact, and be visible to the businesses and public buyers in your area.
