Lot2-048 Scunthorpe, Ashby Road Bus Lane Feasibility - Re-tender

About the buyer

North Lincolnshire Council delivers local services from Scunthorpe as a local authority, with its own Strategic Procurement and Contracts team running the buying. Contract opportunities are advertised on YORtender and NLCProcure, two web-based portals that are free for suppliers to join. Every opportunity is listed first on the Central Digital Platform, then linked through to the hosting portal for full details. A Commercial Pipeline, refreshed quarterly, gives suppliers advance notice of major projects and planned procurement activity. Higher-value requirements pass a set spending threshold before they move on to formal tender advertising.

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 North Lincolnshire Council's contract awards have been in construction work, transport services and architectural and engineering services.
