Building People enables individuals to find employers, opportunities and resources, and employers to engage with a more diverse range of talent.
Building Procurement
Social value in procurement is a hot topic right now, but how can local authorities better connect small, local business supply to developers and contractors, and how can procurers and suppliers be enabled to more easily find one another?
Thanks to the Social Enterprise Support Fund, distributed by Big Issue Impact, Building People has developed an 'inclusive procurement' directory and network, aimed at simplifying business connections to improve social value.
Building Procurement soft launches shortly and we are busy working with a mixture of early adopter local authorities, procurers and suppliers to populate the directory.
We’re keen to have you involved, so please contact us to join in.
