About the buyer

Telford and Wrekin Council is a local government organisation that procures under its own Contract Procedure Rules. Suppliers register on the Central Digital Platform and the council's In-tend eSourcing portal to bid for opportunities. Larger contracts are published through the Find a Tender Service, with smaller opportunities advertised on the council's own website. Framework agreements and dynamic purchasing systems, including ESPO and YPO, give access to pre-approved suppliers. Smaller purchases can be sourced through direct quotations without a published notice. Bids are submitted online through the In-tend portal via document exchange or direct response.
