Who to contact about procurement
Responsibilities for purchasing are organised differently depending on what is being bought. Some departments carry out their own purchasing if the product or services is specific to that service. There is also a Corporate Procurement unit responsible for setting strategy, policy and buying items that are used across the council.
If in doubt about who may be interested in your organisation please contact the Corporate Procurement unit and we will put you in touch with the appropriate person.
Our aim is to seek value for money on all goods, services and works bought by the council. We continuously strive to improve the procurement process to obtain best value from contracts we enter into and to minimise the administrative cost of buying.
