About the buyer

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council is a local authority in South Yorkshire, and advertises most of its contract opportunities through YORtender, its e-tendering platform. YORtender also carries live tender opportunities from councils across the Yorkshire region, run as a shared regional procurement platform. A public contract register lists every current agreement the council holds, the service area it covers and a named contact for suppliers. Larger contracts carry social value requirements set out in the council's published social value policy. Procurement follows the reformed rules introduced under the Procurement Act, with dedicated guidance published for prospective suppliers.

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 Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council's contract awards have been in construction work, software and information systems and architectural and engineering services.
