Supporting your local trade suppliers and the third sector

Spikes Cavell’s Supply Chain tools will help you to better understand the impact of decisions made on your local, SME and third sector suppliers.

Source Local allows you to quickly and easily research, select and communicate with potential suppliers whom you are not currently doing business with.  It allows you to decide where to direct your spend in order to support the local economy or small business community.

Source Three allows you to perform the same functions, but this time for the Third Sector, which continues to grow in importance as an instrument for delivery of Government policy. To generate the necessary insight into the nature and extent of your spend with charities, voluntary groups and social enterprises we have entered into an exclusive strategic alliance with Guidestar Data Services to integrate their database into the Observatory.
