About the buyer

West Lancashire Borough Council is a local authority in Lancashire, procuring goods, services and capital works for the borough and its residents. Tenders are advertised on the-chest, the shared procurement portal used across the North West. Larger and higher-value contracts also appear on Contracts Finder and Find a Tender. Suppliers register free with the-chest to receive alerts on new opportunities as they open. An electronic purchasing system lets the council trade and correspond with suppliers online. A public contracts register records the council's awarded work for transparency and audit.

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 West Lancashire Borough Council's contract awards have been in business services, construction work and architectural and engineering services.
