We want to encourage local businesses to tender or quote competitively to supply us because we recognise the positive contribution small businesses can have in the local economy.
We see procurement as playing a vital role in delivering efficient and effective services to the public and helping to support sustainable local communities.
You can find out about current and planned business opportunities with us as follows.

In addition, from time to time, arc21 may use existing Framework Agreements where they have been procured by another entity but are open for use by us though the way in which the procurement has been constructed. At the UK tender threshold, we have the choice of a number of procedures. We will choose the most appropriate one and make this clear when placing the notice. All successful bidders will be contracted by our terms and conditions.
