Procurement
As a public sector body we have a duty to consider economy, efficiency and effectiveness in everything we buy. We must also adhere to government and EU procurement regulations which require that we are open, fair and transparent about how we buy things and with other policies such as environmental sustainability and equality and diversity. Wherever possible we work collaboratively with other public bodies, particularly with our sponsors the Department for Education (DfE) and with the Office of Government Commerce (OGC), part of the Cabinet Office. The majority of our procurement requirements are channelled through pan-government agreements set up by the OGC. Any requirements which are not covered by existing agreements will go through a competitive process with tenders in excess of £10,000 being shown in the ‘tenders’ section of this website.
