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.
