Procurement – how we buy
Introducing the Procurement Act 2023
On 24 February 2025, the rules that shape how public bodies buy goods and services changed. The Procurement Act 2023 will improve and streamline the way procurement is done. The Act will benefit prospective suppliers of all sizes, particularly small businesses, start-ups and social enterprises.
If you are an existing or prospective supplier to the Council, you need to know about the changes.
However, the previous rules still apply to our procurement tenders that were already in progress prior to this date and any new purchases made after the 24th February’25 via an existing Framework or DPS, with an expiry date in the future.
How we buy:
Our etendering system (s):
Due to the change in legislation, outlined above. For the foreseeable future, the Council will be utilising two systems to publish their procurement opportunities.
Oracle Fusion, will be used to publish all opportunities/purchases via an existing Framework or DPS with an expiry date in the future. It will also continue to be utilised for the creation of ALL PO’s, (Purchase Orders) submission of invoices (by the supplier) and payments. You can register or login into this system using the link below:
Register or log into Oracle Fusion
PLEASE NOTE: the Council operates a NO PO (Purchase Order), No Pay policy
The system is easy to use and will allow your business to:
- Deal with us electronically
- Raise invoices directly from purchases orders online
- Track payments and order progress
- View your account history
- Export details of your transactions for use in your own systems
- Run a paperless service, reducing costs and avoiding payment delays
From June 2025, any new opportunities available, which are not be purchased via an existing Framework or DPS will be published via the councils Delta System. You can register or login into this system using the link below:

PLEASE NOTE: that PO’s (Purchase Orders), invoices and payments will be managed via the Councils Oracle Fusion system and will therefore require you to register on both systems.
Please allow enough time to register on the portal(s) to ensure you have log in details to access the opportunity. We cannot consider, Expressions of interest, selection questionnaires or tender submissions which arrive after the stated deadline.
