Procurement - Purbeck District Council contracts

Selling to the council

There are various opportunities that exist for doing business with Purbeck District Council, through selling, contracting or tendering.

The development of working relationships with suppliers and providers, either private or voluntary, is fundamental to our objective to strengthen our local community.  

The purchase of goods and services is handled by individual sections within the council, with support from the central procurement function.

Other contract arrangements

Whilst the council deals with setting up many contracts by itself, it also uses other contract arrangements where this will make efficiency savings, including those set up either by a consortium, central government agencies (for example the Office of Government Commerce), or by other local authorities. 

Contractual standing orders and financial regulations

These govern the way the council enters into contracts with outside organisations and can be found in the Constitution. 

Terms and conditions of purchase

These are the  Terms & conditions of purchase (PDF, 35kb) (opens in a new window)  that are applicable to all council suppliers.

Contracts register

Contract opportunities
