Selling to the Council

The Council has both a centralised and decentralised procurement structure.  The Corporate Procurement Manager is charged with taking a strategic approach to procurement, but the more specialised purchasing is devolved across the various Council departments.

This section has information on:

• How the Council advertises tenders and contracts

• Current Open and Restricted Tenders

• The Local Government Purchasing Strategy

• The Council's Purchasing Rules

• The Tendering Process at the Council

Summaries of creditor payments of £500 or more can be downloaded below.  From January 2011, detailed information about expenditure of £500 or more will be published on our Transparency and Openness page.
