The Social Value marketplace has been developed to support networking, collaboration and the sharing of resources between the public, private and third sector.
The Social Value marketplace has 2 main areas:
Opportunities
This is where voluntary, community and faith sector (VCFS) organisations can place requests for goods, services and resources they need to continue to provide support services to our residents. VCFS organisations should contact their local Council for Voluntary Service to advertise their requests for goods, services and resources. VCFS organisations can also search the goods, services and resources that businesses are offering.
Businesses can search the opportunities section to find social value projects / requests that they can support. By registering businesses can also post adverts for goods, services and resources that they have available for social value projects which VCFS organisations can apply for.
Express an interest:
If you find an opportunity that you are interested in click on View Opportunity to see more information. By clicking the Express Interest button you can message the organisation, ask a question, offer your services or apply for the project. To express an interest you will need to login or create an account. Once you have logged in you can amend the details at any time by clicking on my My Account. Once registered you can also post and delete opportunities etc.
Awarding an opportunity:
If you have posted an opportunity you will receive an automatic email notification when someone expresses an interest to your request. You will need to log into your account to view the response and award the opportunity
