About the buyer

South Gloucestershire Council delivers local government services from its offices near Bristol, procuring as a local authority. Tender opportunities are published on Supplying the South West, a shared portal used with councils and public bodies across the region for invitations to tender and requests for quotes. Registration on the portal is free and gives suppliers email alerts, tender documents and online submission. Larger contracts also appear on Find a Tender and Contracts Finder, the national procurement portals. The council's procurement activity now follows the Procurement Act 2023, in force since February 2025.

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 South Gloucestershire Council's contract awards have been in construction work, construction materials and architectural and engineering services.
