The Corporate Procurement Unit
The Corporate Procurement Unit is part of the Major Projects & Procurement section of the Department of Performance, working across the council to give a corporate approach to the realisation of major strategic programmes and provide guidance to other sections to promote good practice of working and procurement by the council through the councils Procurement Strategy.
Effective procurement is crucial for achieving the District's 2020 Vision and in particular to secure Best Value public services. It can also help the Council meet its wider objectives of supporting businesses, helping the regeneration of the local economy, reducing administrative costs and minimizing the Council's overall impact on the environment. The Council aims to continually improve procurement processes and work with the supply base to minimise the costs of buying for the Council and ensure that contracts provide value for money and the Council and deliver a fair deal for suppliers.
