Who is a buyer?

Any central, regional or local government agency can join. We have special services to support Public Sector Buyers to support organisations to meet targets, verify spend and embed best practice.
Business
Any private sector organisation can join Amotai. Supplier Diversity is increasingly being asked for when bidding for work. We work with private sector organisations that genuinely want to diversify their supply chains and support them to do that.
