Procurement process

Every year we purchase about £40 million of goods and services, from paper supplies to new bin lorries or building work.

If your company is interested in selling to us, you can find out about our current tenders and how purchasing is done. It can be a complicated process, so we have tried to answer some of the more common questions we have been asked.

Environmental Purchasing Policy

We are keen to use our purchasing power to further our environmental aims. We have a green procurement policy and want to make sure that our spending power can assist in supporting Belfast's economic development and generation of the city.
