Our procurement process
Advertising contracts
We usually select contractors by advertising contracts. We invite businesses to either submit tenders or to express an interest in tendering for contracts.
All our contract opportunities are advertised on:
- Eastmidstenders
- Source Nottinghamshire website for suppliers who wish to view both our low-level and larger contracts.
- Find a Tender (GOV.UK) for contract opportunities over £10,000.
If a contract is likely to be more than £25,000 it must go to tender. This is required by our financial regulations. All Nottinghamshire County Council tenders are done through East Mids Tenders.
Significant Public Procurement Law changes are expected to come into effect on 28 October 2024 from the new Public Procurement Act 2023. You should start to assess how these changes will affect you if you are a supplier who already work with or are interested in working for us.
