We are here to make sure
Suffolk County Council obtains the best possible value for the
money it spends on the wide range of goods and services it needs as
part of it's everyday work.
This includes most things from apples to school meals to Zimmer
walking frames.
We achieve this by providing a comprehensive service to our
customers which includes energy management advice and an increasing
amount of environmental information.
We also make sure that the legal requirements and responsibilities
involved when spending taxpayers money and entering into contracts
are followed.
Registered charities, public bodies and voluntary organisations
based in Suffolk can also obtain the benefits of our buying
power by registering as a customer.
Do you need help in understanding the tender process?

particular SMEs) learn about public procurement and how to bid for
public sector contracts. The course can be accessed via the
