Smaller amounts of public sector expenditure are vitally important to the local economy. Over 85% of businesses in the South East Northumberland area are classed as micro or very small. Often local businesses can offer excellent service coupled with good value and they are very well placed to deliver services that are enhanced by local knowledge.

General Information
Publish your quotation opportunities here…

If you have quotation level opportunities and would like to make them available for local businesses to view and respond then contact the Procurement Centre.

Licences are available for public sector organisations, social enterprises, community and voluntary sector organisations and trusts and larger private sector businesses in the area to use our Opportunities Publisher system – and the best thing is that not only are they free but you can ask the Procurement Centre to publish them for you!

Registration
We are encouraging local suppliers who wish to do business with the public sector at quotation level to sign up on the system and there will be a publicity drive to get as many local suppliers on the system as possible over the winter months.

The Procurement Centre can help you source local suppliers and get the most out of your investments in terms of the wider benefits to the community.
