Corporate Procurement Strategy
As all departments grow more dependent on external suppliers of goods, works and services, it is increasingly important for the Council to develop a clear strategy for how these externally provided resources are selected, acquired and managed. Even where services are currently provided in-house, a range of goods, works and services are procured externally in order to support service provision.
The Procurement Strategy 2005-2008 provides details of the strategic direction of procurement across the authority over the coming 3 years. The strategy is over three main areas - 'Socially Responsible Procurement, Efficient and Effective Procurement and Managing Suppliers'. It illustrates achievements that we have made, issues for particular areas and targets for coming work. You can download a copy of the strategy by clicking on the link on the right hand side.

Sustainable Procurement
Leeds City Council is committed to realising the benefits of sustainable procurement and has built socially responsible procurement into its 2005-2008 Procurement Strategy, with annual targets set down for us to achieve. In order to achieve these objectives, we have adopted a programme of work which will address and integrate environmental, social and economic considerations into every stage of our procurement processes. A series of presentations and guidance documents are available to download on the right hand side.
