About the buyer
Swindon Borough Council buys as a local authority, running procurement through its own Corporate Procurement Team. Every tender is advertised on the Find a Tender Service, the government's central digital procurement platform for public contracts. Smaller and early-stage opportunities appear on the regional Supplying the South West portal instead. Suppliers register there through ProContract to view and bid for opportunities. Bidders for larger contracts must also register on the Find a Tender Service and provide additional supplier information. Social value criteria weigh how each contract benefits Swindon's local economy, environment and wider community.
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 Swindon Borough Council's contract awards have been in construction work, IT services and architectural and engineering services.
