The Procurement Team
Wiltshire Council spends in the region of £450 million per annum on a range of goods, services and works to meet the needs of the residents of Wiltshire. The procurement team provides specialist procurement resources working across the full commercial cycle including commissioning, procurement and contract management.
Procurement Strategy
The Corporate Procurement Strategy provides the framework for the council to obtain value and social capital from all of its bought in goods, services and works.
The strategy focuses on the delivery of the following corporate and social goals:
- identifying and delivering efficiencies, but not at the expense of quality
- developing and embracing the principles of sustainable procurement.
To deliver these priorities the procurement strategy will be used to encourage the adoption of a mixed economy approach, evaluating on the basis of whole life costings and breaking down barriers to participate in council opportunities. Using transparent processes, the council will commit to meeting its obligation to ensure that all of our procurement activity addresses relevant social, economic and environmental standards.
Tender opportunities
Unless utilising established frameworks awarded by the council or professional buying partners such as Crown Commercial Services, we list all contract opportunities on our electronic tendering portal:
