Procurement
How to do business with South Somerset District
Council.
Naturally many organisations will want to sell to the
Council. Therefore, we have constructed these pages to assist
suppliers and contractors who wish to supply South Somerset
District Council with goods and services, by:
- Outlining the rules that the council must follow
- Alerting companies to opportunities to supply the council
- Explaining how to tender for the council's business
- Explaining what is expected of you when undertaking work for
the council
We hope that you find this site useful and we welcome any
comments you may have.

Doing business with us
Our annual expenditure is in excess of £11 million each
year. Individual services take responsibility for purchasing
their own goods and services although there are some corporate
contracts for stationery, printing and mobile phones
etc
Sustainable Procurement
Sustainable procurement is a national and international
agenda item. Moreover, sustainability is being integrated within
the mainstream of procurement policy and practice. It is clear that
the public sector could achieve much more, even within the existing
European rules and the requirement to secure best value for
money.
