About the buyer

North Somerset Council buys as a local authority serving Weston-super-Mare and the surrounding district, with its own tenders and procurement service. Higher-value opportunities are advertised on the regional Supplying the South West portal. Contracts meeting government thresholds also appear on the GOV.UK Find a Tender service. Service areas handle smaller opportunities directly and invite at least three organisations to quote. From April 2026, suppliers must register on the government's Central Digital Platform to bid under the Procurement Act 2023. The council's procurement strategy, covering 2026 to 2030, sets out its approach to social value and the local economy.

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 North Somerset Council's contract awards have been in construction work, business services and architectural and engineering services.
