About the buyer

Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council is a local authority that runs its own procurement team and follows the council's Contract Procedure Rules. Every tender is advertised through The Chest, a shared portal covering opportunities across North West England. Larger opportunities also appear on the government's Find a Tender service. Awarded contracts and renewal dates are published on a dedicated Contracts Register. Bigger contracts bring in the Social Value Portal to assess local social value alongside price. Suppliers register their details only after winning a contract, through the council's own registration form.

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 Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council's contract awards have been in health and social work, construction work and business services.
