| The Corporate Procurement Unit is based in Britannia House in Bradford City Centre. The unit consists of a team of 16 people and whilst it doesn't undertake all procurement activity within the Council many of the larger value supplies and services contracts are dealt with by the unit. Officers from the unit deal with many enquiries from companies wanting to do business with the Council and can usually put suppliers in touch with other departments in the Council if the product or service in question is not being tendered by the Procurement Unit itself. | Address Corporate Procurement Unit 1st Floor, Britannia House Hall Ings Bradford BD1 1HX Telephone 01274 433810 |
