How do we buy goods and services?

It is in the public’s interest to ensure that as many suitably qualified suppliers as possible can bid for work with us. 

We actively encourage bids from local suppliers, as well as those who can contribute to Social Value by providing training and employment opportunities local communities. 

We are committed to transparency and fairness in all our procurement processes.  We strive to ensure that every supplier has an equal opportunity to tender for our contracts, and we see to foster a diverse range of companies, including small businesses and those from underrepresented sectors, to engage with us.
