About the buyer
East Sussex County Council buys as a local government organisation through Orbis Procurement, a shared service with Surrey County Council and Brighton & Hove City Council. Contracts above a set value are advertised on the Proactis Supplier Network, the council's main tenders site. Larger opportunities also appear on the government's Find a Tender service. Purchase orders and payments run through SAP, the council's purchase-to-pay system, with suppliers paid by BACS. Procurement sits in three categories, People, Place, and Corporate, IT and Governance, each with its own Procurement Partner. An Orbis Joint Committee oversees the partnership's shared procurement service.
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 East Sussex County Council's contract awards have been in transport services, construction work and transport equipment.
