SMALL BUSINESS CONCORDAT
-
We are committed to delivering, locally the National Procurement Strategy for Local Government. The strategy asks local authorities to adopt a small and medium sized enterprise (SME) friendly procurement concordat and to encourage a mixed range of suppliers in order to help develop and stimulate a varied and competitive market place.
We recognise the important contribution that small businesses can make to the delivery of public services and the vital role these businesses play in the national and local economy. We are committed to making the most of the benefits offered by them.
We are a member of the Leicestershire Strategic Partnership which endeavours to help small businesses within the region.
Contracts are awarded in order to support the Best Value delivery of local government services. We will deliver value for money and take into account the whole life costs in contract decisions, considering quality and overall cost and benefits.
All tender processes and contract awards will comply with EU Public Procurement Directives and the principles of non-discrimination, equal treatment, transparency and
our duties under UK law.
We will publish a Corporate Procurement Strategy.

The strategy will include a commitment to:
-
The role procurement plays in delivering the Council’s objectives and its contribution to the community strategy, workforce issues, diversity, equalities and sustainability.
-
How we will encourage a diverse and competitive supply market, including small firms, social enterprises, ethnic minorities businesses, voluntary and community sector suppliers.
-
Consider the role of SME specialist suppliers in delivering elements of larger contracts and framework agreements.
We will apply our own rules and policies fairly.
-
At pre-tender stage and during the tender process we will ensure that all tenderers have equal access to relevant information.We will keep the tender process as simple as possible in order to help minimise the cost to suppliers.
In addition public notices will be available here.
