About the buyer

The service must lead every purchase above the quote stage, using frameworks that public sector organisations have put in place, or a formal tender. Suppliers must hold Cyber Essentials Plus or core membership of the South East Cyber Resilience Centre.

Over the past 5 years, most of Surrey Police's contract awards have been in printed matter, electrical equipment and lighting and transport equipment.
