About the buyer

Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council runs local services across Lisburn and Castlereagh, and buys as a local authority with its own Procurement Unit advising departments. Larger tenders are advertised through eTendersNI, the portal shared across Northern Ireland's public sector. Regulated contracts also appear on Find a Tender for suppliers across the UK. Suppliers above the regulated threshold must register on the Central Digital Platform. Many larger contracts move through a framework instead of a fresh open tender. Smaller purchases are handled through direct quote requests to local companies.

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 Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council's contract awards have been in business services, waste, cleaning and environmental services and construction work.
