Procurement
Being an external buyer or becoming a supplier for West Berkshire Council
We aim to procure goods and services in line with the 
Council Strategy [18.93MB] and Constitution. The key drivers for procurement are to drive quality, innovation and ensure best value at all times.
Procurement aims to continuously improve the processes used to obtain best value whilst minimising the burden of tendering for suppliers.
Our
Procurement Strategy [2.52MB] sets out our accountabilities, openness and transparency. Our aim is to build on the skills, expertise and knowledge available to us both locally and nationally, from public, private and third sector organisations and by responding to feedback.
We ensure that all procurements comply with the council's rules and national and European Law.
