About the buyer

Staffordshire County Council buys as a local authority, with a Commercial Team managing procurement on its behalf. Suppliers register on Proactis, the council's electronic tendering system, to view opportunities and submit bids. Larger opportunities are also advertised on Find a Tender, the government's procurement portal. Contracts below the advertised threshold are handled directly by individual council directorates rather than the Commercial Team. Existing framework agreements, dynamic purchasing systems and collaborative partner arrangements are used ahead of new competitions where possible. Contract award notices and procurement reports are published for transparency.

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 Staffordshire County Council's contract awards have been in business services, waste, cleaning and environmental services and construction work.
