Supplying to Derby City Council

Suppliers can be selected via a number of procurement routes. Following the steps outlined on this page will allow potential suppliers to be aware of opportunities to bid for work.

How do I find out what supply opportunities are available?

Supply opportunities are advertised on our Source Derbyshire website.

Suppliers can register and be notified of opportunities from Derby City Council and other local authorities; this service is free of charge.

Do you use contracts awarded by other buying organisations?

We sometimes use contracts awarded by other buying organisations for example:

• Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation (ESPO)
• Crown Commercial Service

Both organisations award contracts for a wide range of goods and services so responding to their advertisements can lead to supply opportunities with a number of public sector organisations.

Low value requirements

For low value requirements, Council officers can seek quotations directly from potential suppliers.
