About the buyer

East Suffolk Council is a local authority that runs procurement through a shared service covering four councils and its own trading company. Great Yarmouth Borough Council, South Norfolk Council and Broadland District Council all use the same procurement team. East Suffolk Services Limited, the council's own trading company, is covered by the same arrangement. Suppliers register on the In-Tend portal to view and respond to live tenders. Contracts are awarded on value for money rather than lowest price alone, under open and transparent procurement rules. The council pays 98% of its suppliers within 30 days.

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