Strategic Procurement

An Introduction to Procurement

Our guidance has a number of different aims:
- Provide the business community, including suppliers of goods, works or services, with an explanation of how and why we procure what we need

- Enable the business community to gain greater access to us for the purpose of selling goods, works and services

- Encourage businesses to compete for our contracts

- We aim to give you as much information as you need to get started in doing business with us and explain what we buy and the way we buy them as well as offering advice on our procurement process
