Founding Patrons & SME reporting

Founding Patrons

Shape the marketplace from the ground floor.

WorkBankis open and onboarding its first founding cohort of buyers across UK infrastructure. Founding patrons help build the platform's accredited supply chain — and get a permanent say in what we build next.

This is an early-stage, founding-cohort programme. Founding buyers join on founding annual terms and, in return, take a seat at the table while the marketplace is still being shaped — not after the fact.

SME & Social Value

Your SME spend, recorded and ready to report.

Public-sector clients and ESG commitments increasingly require evidence of SME engagement. WorkBank makes this automatic — every recorded award is tracked and attributed, and the report states its methodology in full.

✓

Suppliers declare SME status once

Self-declared at signup and reviewed annually. The report states its methodology so your governance team knows exactly what the numbers mean.

📊

Your SME and supply chain spend is tracked in real time on your WorkBank dashboard — total recorded spend, sector breakdown, SME percentage, and full supplier list. The annual report is a formatted export of the same data, ready for client and public-sector submissions the moment you need it — not just in January.
