About the buyer

Leeds City Council buys as a local authority, running commercial activity through Jaggaer, its source-to-contract system. Suppliers register on Jaggaer, list their capabilities and receive email alerts for new opportunities. Tender notices appear on Find a Tender under the Procurement Act 2023, and the council's live contract register is searchable on YORtender. A forward procurement pipeline on Data Mill North lists anticipated commercial activity for the next 24 months. Contract Procedure Rules set out how every purchase is carried out, whether competitively tendered or not. A voluntary Faster Payment Scheme settles invoices early for a small discount.

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 Leeds City Council's contract awards have been in construction work, health and social work and business services.
