Procurement
Norwich City Council’s procurement is about buying the right things, at the right price, in the right way - openly, fairly, and for the benefit of everyone in Norwich.
How Norwich City Council buys goods and services
At Norwich City Council, we’re committed to spending public money wisely and fairly. Our procurement process is how we buy goods, services, and works - from IT equipment to building repairs.
Here’s how it works and how you can get involved.
What is procurement?
Procurement is the process we use to purchase everything the council needs to deliver services for Norwich residents. This includes things like:
- office supplies and IT systems
- building maintenance and repairs
- cleaning and waste services
- consultancy and professional advice
Key principles
We follow these core values in every procurement activity:
- value for money: we aim to get the best outcomes for every pound spent
- transparency and fairness: all suppliers are treated equally
- compliance: we follow UK procurement law, including the Procurement Act 2023
- sustainability and ethics: we consider social value, environmental impact, and ethical sourcing.
