About the buyer

Orkney Islands Council is the local authority for the Orkney Islands, and buys through a dedicated procurement service led by a service manager. Contract opportunities are advertised on the Public Contracts Scotland Portal, with larger opportunities also published on Find a Tender. Construction works are sourced through a Dynamic Purchasing System open to approved contractors. Smaller purchases are assessed directly by individual council officers, with formal written quotations sought above a lower threshold. A public contracts register lists the council's current and past agreements. Suppliers must also meet a sustainable procurement policy covering environmental and social standards.

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 Orkney Islands Council's contract awards have been in repair and maintenance, transport equipment and architectural and engineering services.
