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.
Our Procurement Policy explains how we approach the procurement of goods and services. We see procurement as playing a vital role in delivering efficient and effective services to the public and helping to support sustainable local communities.
