ProcureCo is the only platform dedicated to bringing social housing procurement professionals and private sector suppliers together. It offers unrivalled opportunities to expand networks, explore new working relationships, strengthen supply chains, and share knowledge and best practice to further Social Value.
OUR PARTNERS
ProcureCo is a programme that is directed by a steering group of experienced public sector procurement professionals. These are people that understand and know what they are talking about. We take their ideas and implement them.
The ProcureCo event and programme is run by 3D Change who are also the architects of the London Jobs Fairs which are designed to help jobseekers on their journey into employment. ProcureCo invests its surplus into the running of the London Jobs Fairs. Suppliers who sponsor and get involved in the ProcureCo programme are contributing to social value. As such they are able to evidence their contribution to social value in their bid responses. 3D Change are able to assist with this if required.
The next ProcureCo event will be held on 23rd April
PEMBURY CENTRE, HACKNEY, EAST LONDON
