What is the role of the procurement section?

The section issues quotations directly to suppliers and places the relevant purchase orders.

The section is responsible for tenders and advises departments on the best way to tender for work. They can also look for opportunities where a number of requirements across different divisions can be consolidated into one Tender.

Tenders

The Council procures approx £7 million of goods and services each year and must comply with numerous European and UK Laws.

The Council's purchasing policy is designed to demonstrate openness, transparency and equality, with due consideration to quality and value for money.

Current Procurement Thresholds

Up to £1,000 - Purchased at best value
From £1,000 - £3,000 - 3 Quotations required
From £3,000 - £5,000 - 4 Quotations required
Above £5,000 - Public Advertisement

How are Quotations dealt with?

Quotations are the responsibility of the individual budget-holders within divisions and are not publicly advertised. The budget-holder prepares the specification and decides who to issue the quotations to and the procurement section obtain the quotes. On return they are evaluated by the Division and a recommendation is made to the Office Services Manager.

How are Tenders dealt with?

Any goods/services over the value of £5,000 will be publicly advertised.

Where can I find current Tenders?

Each tender or select list advertisement is placed in the Belfast Telegraph, Irish News and News Letter in either the Tuesday or Friday edition and is also available on this site at the link below. If the contract is governed by the EU Public Procurement Legislation, an advertisement is also placed on the 'Official Journal of the European Union' (OJEU).
