opportunities for supplying us with goods or services.
Our procurement team deal with contracts for providing goods and
services to our organisation.
They do not arrange contracts to supply to care
providers themselves or contracts for providing care services.
If you or your company is interested in a contract with our
organisation, you can find more information below.
Contract and tender opportunities
We also advertise contract and tender opportunities in relevant
publications, local or national press and on the website www.supply2.gov.uk as
appropriate.

Contracts worth between £5,000 and £50,000
For purchases where the value is likely to be between £5,000 and
£50,000, and we do not hold an existing contract, we will ask for
written quotations from potential suppliers.
Quotations are less formal than going through the tendering
process. But they still allow us to choose suppliers that meet our
needs and offer value for money.
Contracts worth more than £50,000
For values in excess of £50,000, we will ask for a minimum of
three formal tenders.
Formal tenders will follow our financial regulations, our
procurement procedures and procurement best practice.
Contracts worth more than £93,898
If the estimated value of the contract is more than £93,898,
plus VAT, we will follow European Union (EU) procurement rules.
The EU procurement rules apply to public authorities. Their aim
is to ensure fair and non-discriminatory selection processes and
the free movement of goods and services within the EU.
The rules set out detailed procedures for awarding contracts
whose value equals or exceeds specific thresholds.
