Procurement – how we buy
Introducing the Procurement Act 2023
On 24 February 2025, the rules that shape how public bodies buy goods and services will change. 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 existing rules will continue to apply to our procurement tenders that are already in progress -and contracts already awarded before this date.
How we buy:
