Join us at Jarrow Focus to discuss Procurement, Social Value, the Pledge commitments to supporting local and connect with other members.

Join us for this year's South Tyneside Pledge Procurement Event, bringing together procurement professionals, local businesses, charities and partners from across the region.

We'll hear from South Tyneside Council's Procurement Team and colleagues from the North East Mayoral Strategic Authority, who will share valuable insights into procurement processes, upcoming opportunities and how organisations can engage more effectively with public sector procurement.

The event will also feature a panel discussion with members of the South Tyneside Pledge Steering Group, offering practical insights into their own procurement approaches, how they support local suppliers through their business ecosystems, and the role that social value plays within their organisations. This will be an excellent opportunity to hear directly from employers who are committed to keeping spending local and creating positive outcomes for South Tyneside communities.

Whether you're looking to better understand procurement processes, learn more about social value, explore opportunities to work with other Pledge organisations, or find out about some of the fantastic projects taking place across South Tyneside, this event is not to be missed.
