Authority Hub · Procurement
Built for procurement teams.
Free to the client. Auditable. Framework-friendly.
Procurement teams engage Jigsaw for venue finding, emergency accommodation and corporate accommodation without paying us a fee — our commission is paid by the venue or operator. That commercial model, combined with our governance posture, is what makes us procurement-safe.
Why procurement teams choose Jigsaw
Enterprise and public-sector procurement functions do three things when they engage an accommodation partner: they qualify the supplier on price, on process and on posture. We answer all three transparently.
On price — there is no client-side fee. Suppliers pay us. Every quote we produce is bench-markable against direct market rates.
On process — every enquiry generates an auditable brief, an auditable shortlist and an auditable confirmation trail. Nothing is verbal-only.
On posture — we treat GDPR, safeguarding, resident welfare and framework compliance as first-class deliverables, not afterthoughts.
What matters here
No client-side fee
Our commission is paid by the venue or operator. Clients pay nothing to Jigsaw. Every quote is directly comparable to market.
Auditable trail
Every enquiry, brief, shortlist, quote and confirmation is logged. Available for internal audit or FOI response on request.
GDPR posture
Standard DPA available on request. Data-processor stance for placement personal data. Named DPO contact.
Framework alignment
We work under a number of public-sector frameworks (evidence available on request). Commercial terms adapt to your framework rules.
Safeguarding & welfare
Placements aligned to Housing Act 1996 Part VII, Homelessness Reduction Act 2017, Equality Act 2010 duties where applicable.
Named account owner
Every enterprise buyer gets a named account owner. Escalation is one email, not a queue.
