About the buyer

Bristol City Council is a local authority that runs its own Procurement and Contract Management Service. Larger contracts are commissioned through ProContract, the council's Due North e-tendering portal, where suppliers register for alerts. High-value opportunities also appear on Find a Tender, and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts. Frameworks, dynamic purchasing systems and awarded contracts are listed on the council's e-procurement contracts register. A commercial pipeline gives a forward look at anticipated outsourcing over the next twelve months. Adult social care is commissioned by the Adult Care Commissioning team, largely through a single commissioning framework.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of Bristol City Council's contract awards have been in health and social work, construction work and architectural and engineering services.
