Are you involved in purchasing or developing procurement strategy for your organisation?

We are pleased to be hosting a Buy Social Buyer Huddle - an online event for commercial buyers interested in buying with impact, delivered in partnership with Social Enterprise Scotland's campaign Buy Social Scotland

In this short lunchtime session, we'll explore:

  • Your motivations and insights on all things buying social.
  • Does your organisation have a social impact buying strategy? What is working and what needs to improve?
  • Hear from buyers at different stages of their buy social journey and get ideas from success stories
  • Be part of shaping how the social impact economy develops in Scotland and beyond.

We'll be joined by buyers already on their social procurement journey, and discuss their experiences and opportunities that have arisen.
