About our Procurement Strategy

The Council procures goods and services from various suppliers and this is governed by our procurement strategy. There are three themes to the strategy:

To adopt a more strategic Category Management approach to procuring goods and services by supporting services during design of service chance and contract renewal.
To streamline and automate the tender process to make it easier for all suppliers to complete for contracts and cheaper for the Council to procure goods and services.
To Strengthen Supplier Management methods with strategic suppliers and strengthen contract management once contracts are in place.
