Procurement policy

Procurement in local Councils is controlled by a National Strategy.

What is Procurement?

Procurement is about buying goods, works and services, either from other companies or from in-house providers.

The procurement process covers the whole cycle from identification of needs, to the end of the contract or useful life of a product/asset. It includes considering options and the critical 'make or buy' decision.

The National Strategy

The national strategy for Local Government Procurement is available from the Department for Communities & Local Government.
