The Strategic Procurement Team is keen to support local and small businesses and where possible create tender opportunities, which supports the local economy. Currently over 40% of all Council business is with local suppliers.
The procurement team run a programme of workshops specifically targeted at Small and Medium Enterprises (SME's).
The workshops are designed to give SME's further insight into how the Council's procurement processes work and the type of standard information we expect from suppliers through a quotation or tender process.
If you are a locally based company and have an 'OX' postcode, the procurement team can also deliver workshops on-site. To talk this option through with the team, please contact us on 01865 252778 or Email us.
The events are designed to be as practical and interactive as possible.
