Procurement

Our Code of Procurement explains how we intend to procure the Council's goods, works and services. It explains the rules we follow for procurement transparency. 

New Procurement Act 2023

On 24 February 2025, the rules that shape how public bodies buy goods and services will change. The Procurement Act 2023 will improve and streamline the way procurement is done and benefit prospective suppliers of all sizes, particularly small businesses, start-ups and social enterprises.

If your business supplies goods, works or services to organisations in the public or utility sectors - or hopes to do so in the future - you need to know about the changes. This includes supplying to government departments, the NHS, local authorities, universities, schools, social housing organisations, police and fire brigades and utility companies.

Key benefits for suppliers include more standardisation and streamlining of procurement processes - but there are also additional benefits in the Act such as requiring better oversight of procurement decisions and strengthening payment terms  see link for more information. Link:

Tender opportunities

All of our tender opportunities are advertised on Contracts Finder. 

Approved suppliers

We use Constructionline as an approved list for construction related works.

We do not have any other approved or select lists across the Council. 

Endorsements

We do not endorse companies that undertake private work. If you receive communications from a company that claim to be endorsed by us, please email procurement@fenland.gov.uk.
