About the buyer

West Northamptonshire Council is a local authority formed in April 2021 from its predecessor councils, and buys through its own Procurement Team. Larger tenders run on the In-Tend portal, where suppliers access documents and submit bids. Advertised opportunities also appear on Find a Tender, with Contracts Finder used for lower values. A Commercial Pipeline lists potential tendering opportunities for the next 18 months. Certain goods, services and works are bought through frameworks from the Crown Commercial Service, ESPO, NEPO and YPO. The council also hosts a Security Services framework that Northamptonshire local authorities, schools and public bodies can use.

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 West Northamptonshire Council's contract awards have been in transport services, construction work and architectural and engineering services.
