Where Local Enterprise Meets Public Sector Opportunity

Welcome to the Community Wealth Building Hub – a dedicated marketplace connecting Scotland’s public sector buyers with the SMEs, social enterprises, supported businesses, and third sector organisations that will shape inclusive, resilient local economies.

Community Wealth Building isn’t just policy – it’s practice. This hub transforms Fair Work First, community benefits, and local spend commitments into tangible business opportunities and measurable outcomes for places and people.

The Community Wealth Building Hub provides a focused, practical space to:

• Showcase Scottish excellence – Celebrate and connect with the diverse suppliers delivering fair work, social impact, and local economic resilience
• Make supplier discovery easy – Public buyers meet pre-vetted, curated SMEs, social enterprises, supported businesses, and third sector organisations in one dedicated space
• Turn policy into action – Move from Fair Work First and Community Wealth Building commitments to actual procurement choices
• Build relationships – Create dialogue between buyers and suppliers around shared values, impact, and partnership
• Generate evidence – Produce audit-friendly engagement outputs and impact narratives that support local action planning and reporting
