All our tender opportunities are managed electronically through our e-procurement portal, EastMidsTenders.
Our tender opportunities can be viewed on http://www.eastmidstenders.org/.
In addition to searching for current contract opportunities, suppliers can register their details on this website and receive automatic alerts when new opportunities are posted. This system is also utilised by other local authorities in the area broadening the opportunities available. Registering on this website is completely free of charge.
The Council also uses framework contracts awarded by other buying organisations for example:
- Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation https://www.espo.org/
- Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation https://www.ypo.co.uk/
- Crown Commercial Service https://www.crowncommercial.gov.uk/
Significant public procurement law changes will come into effect on 24 February 2025 with The Procurement Act 2023 going go live on 24 February 2025.
You should start to assess how these changes will affect you if you are a supplier who already work with or are interested in working with us. For more information, please see Guide for Suppliers attached to this page.
