Contracts above a set value are advertised on the Proactis Supplier Network, the council's main tenders site. Larger opportunities also appear on the government's Find a Tender service. Purchase orders and payments run through SAP, the council's purchase-to-pay system, with suppliers paid by BACS. Procurement sits in three categories, People, Place, and Corporate, IT and Governance, each with its own Procurement Partner. An Orbis Joint Committee oversees the partnership's shared procurement service.
