Suppliers

We work with a range of suppliers to source goods, works, and services that support our Communities and operations.

Procurement

We’re committed to spending public money responsibly. Much of the money we spend comes from public funds, so we have both a legal and moral duty to make sure it’s used wisely. That means everything we buy must be sourced fairly, through open and honest processes, and in line with UK laws.

Conditions of Contract

Before any goods, works, or services are delivered, it’s essential that a signed contract is in place. 

Supplier Onboarding

Before we can issue any Purchase Orders or process payments, all new suppliers must complete our onboarding process - whether you've been formally awarded a contract or are providing goods, works or services on an approved basis.

Receiving Orders

We'll provide suppliers with a Purchase Order (PO) when goods, works or services are required.

Getting Paid

We're committed to pay all our suppliers promptly. In complying with the Procurement Act 2023, we will pay all undisputed and valid invoices within 30 days of receipt.
