About the buyer

Kirklees Council is a West Yorkshire local authority with a corporate procurement team led by a Head of Procurement and Commissioning. Every tender is advertised on YORtender, the e-procurement portal used to run e-tenders and manage suppliers and contracts. Larger contracts also appear on Find a Tender through the Central Digital Platform. Service Directors hold the authority to commence and award procurements in their own directorates. Approved frameworks, dynamic purchasing systems and dynamic markets are permitted routes to market. The Head of Procurement keeps a list of approved central purchasing organisations, including YPO and the Crown Commercial Service.

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 Kirklees Council's contract awards have been in construction work, construction materials and health and social work.
