We procure a wide range of goods, services and works.
Our Corporate Procurement Team works to ensure all our purchases are economically advantageous, legally compliant, fair and ethical and that the procurement process is open and transparent.

Procurement strategy
We recently endorsed a new Corporate Procurement Strategy (PDF 975Kb).
The strategy brings together the latest government initiatives and our procurement priorities. We will continue to provide and arrange innovative and flexible, quality goods, works and services that are responsive to the needs of our local community and deliver optimum value for money.
The strategy also acknowledges that as a public sector body, the Council is bound by statutory public procurement regulations and supporting legislation.
It is also acknowledged that all procurement activity must also conform to the processes and governance as detailed in the Council’s Financial Regulations (PDF 1.03Mb) and Standing Orders (PDF 261Kb) relating to Contracts.
