Procurement

Gedling Borough Council spends around £8 million per annum on a varied range of works, services and goods.  We are issuing this guidance to help businesses interested in supplying the Council. Procurement covers all of the supplies, services and works we need to deliver our services to the people of Gedling Borough. The rules by which we spend money on goods, services and works, are set out in our Constitution.

The Council recognises the need for effective procurement practices to acquire and deliver value for money on goods, works and services bought by us. To achieve this, we have produced a Procurement Strategy to inform members, staff, the public and suppliers how procurement will be managed.

If you would like to know more about how companies can work with us, please take a look at the Selling to the Council Guide. You can also find out more about our future requirements and contracting opportunities by clicking on our online web portal Source Nottinghamshire.

When letting contracts, we must comply with Council rules and national/European law. As such we cannot discriminate in favour of local suppliers. However, they will be given every encouragement to compete for Council Contracts.
