We spend £200 million annually providing goods, services and
works to our customers across the UK. The money is largely from
public funds and we have a moral and legal duty to ensure that
value for money is achieved. The procurement process must:
- Achieve value for money for Places for People and our
customers
- Be transparent, fair and achieve the highest standards of
integrity
- Comply with public procurement legislation and our own
procedures, visions and values.
What we look for
- Financial, commercial and technical capability to meet our
requirements
- Commitment to equal opportunities, environmental issues, safe
systems of working and corporate responsibility
- If you're a contractor (building, grounds maintenanace,
cleaning) we encourage you to be Constructionline accredited as a
pre-qualifying standard
- We also encourage our suppliers to be CHAS compliant or similar
Safety Systems in Procurement (SSIP) before we consider your
services.
