Selling to the council guide

Procurement describes the way the Council acquires all the goods, services and works it needs to provide services to the people of Coventry. This can be anything from buying pens and paper to financing major construction projects or comissioning social care services. How we do this can therefore vary according to value and complexity of contract arrangements.

How we buy

The "How we buy" Guide gives some insight into how procurement processes work.

In addition, these processes are supported by a range of procurement policies and procedures. These are designed to ensure transparency, value for money and support the council's wider social, economic and environmental aims.

Who to contact

Coventry has a central procurement unit as well as some decentralised procurement activity. Follow the link to a contact list or if you need some more help finding the right person to speak to: call Procurement Services on 024 7683 3757 or e-mail procurement.services@coventry.gov.uk
