Supplying to Derby City Council
Suppliers can be selected through a number of procurement routes. Following the steps outlined on this page will allow potential suppliers to be aware of opportunities to bid for work.
How do I find out what supply opportunities are available?
Supply opportunities are advertised on Source DerbyshireOpens in new tab. Depending on their value, they may also be advertised on the Contracts FinderOpens in new tab and Find A Tender ServiceOpens in new tab.
Suppliers can register and be notified of opportunities from Derby City Council and other local authorities; this service is free of charge.
Do you use contracts awarded by other buying organisations?
We sometimes use contracts awarded by other buying organisations for example:
- Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation (ESPO)Opens in new tab
- Crown Commercial ServiceOpens in new tab
Both organisations award contracts for a wide range of goods and services so responding to their advertisements can lead to supply opportunities with a number of public sector organisations.
Low value requirements
For low value requirements, Council officers can seek quotations directly from potential suppliers.
