What are the benefits of joining the directory for Buyers?
Social Housing and Public Sector organisations including our partners are constantly looking to meet organisations from all sectors. The directory offers an opportunity to showcase your products and services to these decision makers. The design of the directory has been led by our ProcureCo Strategic Steering Group and has been created as a tool to help them and other procurement professionals engage with suppliers.
Suppliers will find this an excellent route to market their products and services to the public sector as well as a myriad of other suppliers that work within this sector. It will allow you to build your own company profile including information about your products and services, receive reviews and messages on your profile and other suppliers plus much more and all within your listing.
