UKREiiF – The UK’s Real Estate Investment and Infrastructure Forum – whose Advisory Group is Chaired by Lord Kerslake, brings together the public and private sectors to support the ambition for the UK to Build Back Better.

The UK’s Real Estate Investment and Infrastructure Forum, better known as UKREiiF, has been given a major boost by Pagabo, one of the leading procurement organisations in the UK, signing on to become main sponsor of the Social Value Pavilion at next May’s UKREiiF conference.

Pagabo is one of the best-known names in the industry – particularly when it comes to its reputation for maximising social value from the procurement process and supporting other companies in delivering more and better social value through their contracts.

The Hull-based business encourages clients and suppliers to put social value at the core of their business culture and thanks to their unique partnership with leading social value software and consultancy organisation, Social Profit Calculator, they are perfectly positioned to sponsor the Social Value Pavillion at UKREiiF 2022.

Having enabled more than £3.5bn in social value through its frameworks since 2017, Pagabo understands the essential role that procurement has to play in making sure individuals, communities and businesses benefit from inward investment.

UKREiiF founder and driving force Keith Griffiths said: “There is now real momentum growing behind UKREiiF. Having Pagabo sign up to sponsor the Social Value Pavilion at next May’s inaugural UKREiiF conference is a massive vote of confidence in UKREiiF, and I am thrilled that such a brilliant private sector business will be so prominent at UKREiiF.”

Simon Toplass, CEO of Pagabo, added: “Sponsoring UKREiiF 2022 is an exciting opportunity for us and something we’re pleased to be involved in. We’re passionate about creating real-life positive impact for communities through everything we do and at every level of the supply chain, so the sponsorship of the Social Value Pavilion is a no-brainer for us.

“Creating real, tangible community benefit through our work in the built environment is something that has never been more important and will play a crucial role in the UK’s ongoing recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic – and we are very proud of the role we play in this.

“We’re looking forward to speaking to UKREiiF attendees about the important work that we and members of our ecosystem are doing, and how other organisations can enhance the social value delivered by their daily operations.”

Pagabo aims to makes procurement quicker, easier and more effective, by helping public sector organisations with UK and EU procurement law compliant framework agreements, a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), and bespoke consultancy – all delivered and backed up by a team of MCIPS and NEC qualified procurement professionals.

Led by property events company Built Environment Networking and supported by some of the biggest UK property and infrastructure companies, the first annual UKREiiF event will be held in Leeds on 17-19 May 2022. The forum will attract inward investment, generate economic growth and drive a more sustainable and inclusive culture within the property and construction industries.

Further announcements about UKREiiF are due in the coming weeks.
