About the buyer

Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council is a local authority in Greater Manchester, and buys through its own Procurement and Performance team. Suppliers register on The Chest, the council's primary portal for advertising tenders and submitting bids. Smaller contracts go to a limited number of quoted suppliers rather than open tender. Frameworks from the Crown Commercial Service and ESPO cover many common goods and services. Commissioning plans are published jointly with partner NHS trusts and Wigan and Leigh College. All bids must also meet Procurement Act 2023 rules through the Central Digital Platform.

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