Governance & Accountability

We run a controlled workflow: brief intake โ†’ criteria validation โ†’ venue outreach โ†’ shortlist QA โ†’ client decision support. Every key step is recorded so procurement teams can evidence how options were assessed.

Reporting Outputs

You receive structured shortlists and a clear record of: contacted venues, responses, availability, pricing context, and the rationale for recommendations. This supports internal approvals and stakeholder sign-off.

Data Handling

We only collect what is needed to source venues and manage the booking process. Access is restricted, requests are logged, and we avoid storing unnecessary personal data. Where sensitive requirements exist (accessibility, dietary, safeguarding), they are captured and handled with appropriate care.

Evidence Ledger (Audit-Friendly)

For governance and traceability, we maintain a practical evidence trail that shows what happened, when, and why.

Managed Sourcing vs Self-Serve Browsing

Managed Venue Finding (Jigsaw)
Self-Serve Marketplace Browsing
Curated shortlist aligned to your brief
Large inventory but higher noise
Time saved: we do outreach and chase availability
Availability often unclear until you enquire
Clear record of options and decisions
Multiple threads across multiple venues
Free to organisers; no booking-fee surprise
Less structured evidence of why options were chosen
Works well for complex, time-critical requirements
More internal time needed to manage the process

If you want speed, control and a clean audit trail, managed sourcing is the safer operating model.
