About the buyer

Westmorland and Furness Council is a local authority, and suppliers register free on The Chest, the region's e-procurement portal, to bid for contract opportunities. Registration also opens access to opportunities from district and county councils across the North West of England. Specialist consultancy support is procured through professional services frameworks running for four years. Around half the consultants on the current framework are based in Cumbria. Framework bids are evaluated on capability, capacity, performance management and commitment to social value. Every framework must align with the council's own Social Value Statement.

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 Westmorland and Furness Council's contract awards have been in construction work, transport services and software and information systems.
