Procurement - policy

"Procurement" is the process of acquiring goods, works and services, covering both acquisition from third parties and from in-house providers. The process spans the whole cycle from identification of needs, through to the end of a services contract or the end of the useful life of an asset. It involves options appraisal and the critical 'make or buy' decision which may result in the provision of services in-house in appropriate circumstances.

There is a National Strategy for Local Government Procurement which is available on the Department for Communities and Local Government.

• Procurement Strategy

  The Council is committed to ensuring the procurement of goods and services is undertaken in a fair and transparent manner and as efficiently as possible.
