Introducing The Supply Change Platform
Our platform hosts pre-vetted social 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.
How does the platform work?
-
Buyers are provided with an annual licence to log in to the platform.
-
Users search for social suppliers via their location, trade and impact area.
-
Social supplier profiles include information such as trade, impact, insurances, policies and certificates.
-
Buyers can request an introduction to the supplier and Supply Change facilitates this.
-
Buyers can request copies of policies and insurance certificates from Supply Change.

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.
