About the buyer

Nottingham City Council is a unitary local authority for the city of Nottingham, and organises procurement through category management teams covering people, places and products. Suppliers register on the East Midlands Tenders portal, the e-procurement system used across Nottinghamshire's public bodies, to view and respond to opportunities. Larger contracts also appear on Find a Tender, following the Procurement Act 2023. Framework agreements with Scape, the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation and the Crown Commercial Service route much of its procurement. Registered suppliers must also join the Central Digital Platform to bid on invitation to tender exercises.

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 Nottingham City Council's contract awards have been in construction work, health and social work and transport services.
