About the buyer

Sunderland City Council is a local authority that launched the Open procurement platform in June 2024. The council was the first in North East England to use Open for advertising tenders. Open is replacing the NEPO Portal, previously shared by North East local authorities for tenders and quotations. Suppliers register on Open and select categories of interest to receive email alerts on matching opportunities. Eleven further North East councils, including Newcastle, Durham and Gateshead, joined Open in October 2024. A separate contracts register lists Sunderland's current and archived agreements alongside its live procurement notices.

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