What are the rules and procedures?
The council and suppliers must follow several rules and procedures to be compliant with the law.
We must follow all rules and procedures to remain which all public sector bodies must adhere to.
Later this year, significant new legislation will come into effect that will transform public procurement - the Procurement Act 2023. Following the laying of secondary legislation last month, we can confirm that we are working towards a ‘go-live’ date for the new regime of Monday 28 October 2024. To find out more, please visit Transforming Public Procurement.
We conduct our activities within our procurement thresholds:
