About the buyer
Lincolnshire County Council is the local authority responsible for services across the county, and buys through its own Procurement Lincolnshire team. Suppliers register on Panacea, the council's e-tendering portal, to bid for contracts. Contracts above relevant thresholds are also advertised on Find a Tender, which is free for suppliers to join. A procurement pipeline sets out contracts due for re-procurement over the next eighteen months, helping suppliers plan ahead. The council favours a Lincolnshire-based approach to procurement, working with partner public bodies across the county where possible. Small and medium enterprises are encouraged to bid for council contracts directly.
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 Lincolnshire County Council's contract awards have been in health and social work, construction work and transport services.
