About the buyer

Erewash Borough Council is the local authority for the Erewash district in Derbyshire, and buys through its own procurement team. Quotations and tenders are advertised on East Mids Tenders, the council's regional e-procurement portal. Suppliers register free to receive alerts on new opportunities. Larger opportunities also appear on Find a Tender, the government's central platform. Framework agreements with the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation and the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation supplement direct tenders. The Crown Commercial Service provides a further route to national contracts. Procurement Act 2023 rules have applied since February 2025.

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 Erewash Borough Council's contract awards have been in construction work, software and information systems and business services.
