Suppliers register on Sell2Wales to view and respond to the council's contract notices. A Procurement Services team handles enquiries and can be reached through a dedicated phone line and email address. Taxis, minibuses and wheelchair-accessible vehicle hire are sourced through a dynamic purchasing system. Childcare places in the non-maintained sector run through a separate dynamic purchasing system. Assessment and therapy services are bought through their own dynamic purchasing system.
