About the buyer

Suppliers register on Atamis, the council's e-sourcing portal, to view and respond to tender opportunities. Larger contracts are also advertised through the Find a Tender Service and Contracts Finder. Suppliers can filter Contracts Finder by CPV code for relevant alerts. Beyond its own tenders, the council draws on consortia including the Central Buying Consortium, the Crown Commercial Service and the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation. Each school's governing body controls its own purchasing budget, supported by the council's procurement team.
UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).
