"Procurement" is the process of acquiring goods, works and
services, covering both acquisition from third parties and from
in-house providers. The process spans the whole cycle from
identification of needs, through to the end of a services contract
or the end of the useful life of an asset. It involves options
appraisal and the critical 'make or buy' decision which may result
in the provision of services in-house in appropriate
circumstances.
There is a National Strategy for Local Government Procurement
which is available on the Department of
Communities and Local Government.

Please note:
- We do NOT maintain select lists. The contract
officer will produce a short list for each contract before it goes
out to tender.
- We do use Constructionline
but this does NOT preclude any contractor who is not a member
being considered for any contract.
- We also just have one main building (Council Offices,
Codsall) and no housing stock as this is the responsibility of
Housing Plus (South Staffordshire Housing
Association).
