Selling to the council
The council spends over £100 million annually providing a wide range of goods, works and services from more than 3,600 suppliers.
We buy everything from stationery to social care services to school extensions. The approach we take to this spending has a significant impact on the community at large and the resources we have to deliver essential local services.
Current opportunities
We advertise all new opportunities on the South East Business Portal and Contracts Finder. Both websites are free to use. If you register you will get automatic email alerts every time an opportunity suitable for your business is advertised by any council in the region.
