Providing Goods and Services

We follow the main principle of utilising combined common contract areas within the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) as directed by the Efficiency and Reform Group within the Cabinet Office, and practiced by our parent department Defra and its associated executive agencies.

When a procurement opportunity arises we follow, where appropriate, a hierarchy of supplier contracting:

  1. If a Crown Commercial Service contract exists then we will use this method of sourcing a supplier, taking advantage of the increased savings to be made through aggregated commercial procurement arrangements for core common goods and services.
  2. If no CCS contract exists it is preferred to combine our spending power with other executive agencies as members of a collaborative framework group.
  3. If the above options are not available we will then conduct a tender exercise.
