TD2338 - Supply of 2x Tractor for Grounds Maintenance Team (Replacement VPE)

About the buyer

Derby City Council is a local authority covering the city of Derby, and its corporate procurement service supports buying across the organisation. Supply opportunities are advertised on Source Derbyshire, a shared tendering portal used by councils across Derbyshire. Higher-value contracts also appear on Contracts Finder and Find a Tender Service. Derby draws on framework agreements through the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation and the Crown Commercial Service. Lower-value requirements can be sourced directly through quotations obtained by council officers. Buyer and supplier events give the procurement team a way to engage the market before a tender is published.

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 Derby City Council's contract awards have been in education and training, construction work and business services.
