About the buyer

Thanet District Council buys as a local authority from its offices in Margate, Kent. Smaller purchases need one quote or three written quotes, depending on size. Local suppliers are considered for lower-value quotes. Thanet joins Kent authorities for joint contracting. Contracts from the Central Buying Consortium and LASER are also used.

Construction contracts accept Constructionline accreditation or a pre-qualification questionnaire.

Over the past 5 years, most of Thanet District Council's contract awards have been in construction work, communications equipment and software and information systems.
