They Buy For You is a consortium of 10 leading companies, universities, research centres, government departments and local authorities in the UK, Norway, Italy, Spain and Slovenia.
The ‘They Buy For You’ platform received funding from the EU Horizon 2020 programme to make the European procurement market more accessible. The Government of Slovenia is currently using They Buy For You to detect patterns of fraud in public spending.
