Procurement Support Service · UK public procurement notice

The Authorities require an end-to-end procurement support service for all procurement and contracting activities to ensure compliance with UK regulations, and the individual contract procedure rules for each Authority.

The Supplier will provide expert pre procurement, market assessment, commercial strategy, tendering advice and support by combining the strength of their public sector procurement expertise, and local authority contracted services knowledge, to help achieve our goals for integration, collaboration and efficiencies, whilst navigating the required regulatory frameworks.

The Supplier will provide a “turn-key” service for planned and ad-hoc procurement activities, providing access to expert procurement and commercial knowledge, strategies and support, with provision of an e-procurement/e-tendering portal for PCR2015, The Procurement Act 2023 and future legislation compliant tendering.

The aim is to establish robust standardised procurement processes and procedures, with standardised documentation, whilst adding resource capacity and resilience to each authority, thereby enhancing the overall procurement framework within the organisations.
