About the buyer

Lower-value contracts are still advertised separately on Contracts Finder. A public contracts register on the council's website lists every contract it has previously awarded. Local suppliers are encouraged to bid for building, IT, facilities and waste management contracts, though no preferred list exists.

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 Chesterfield Borough Council's contract awards have been in construction work, software and information systems and business services.
