Doing business with the Council

The services, construction works and supplies provided by the Council have a significant impact on the quality of life for the community. It is vital that these services are delivered to a high standard. Procurement is the process of acquiring goods, works and services from suppliers.

Procurement activities identify the option that offers the best value for money for the Council. It also provides a structure for managing suppliers.

Achieving best value for money should be the basis of all procurement decisions within the Council.

The Strategic Procurement Unit will be primarily responsible for the delivery of Plymouth City Council’s Procurement Strategy. The document at the bottom of this page contains advice on how to do business with the Council.
