Discover the UK's biggest procurement platform of social and environmental suppliers

Introducing The Supply Change Platform

Our platform hosts social and environmental suppliers ready to deliver a range of goods and services from cleaning to coffee. The platform enables organisations to find the best supplier for their needs and get in touch at the click of a button.

  2. Users search for social suppliers via their location, trade and impact area.

  3. Social supplier profiles include information such as trade, impact, insurances, policies and certificates.

  4. Buyers can message suppliers directly through the platform.

We were pleased to work with Supply Change on the Barking and Dagenham Meet the Buyer event with a focus on local social enterprises. The team were very professional in organising the attendance and managing the online event. Their involvement made it a smooth and enjoyable experience for all involved and we would certainly work with them again.
