Procurement Strategy

The purpose of Cumbria County Council’s corporate procurement strategy is to ensure that the Council uses procurement effectively to deliver its mission and key priorities.

The strategy provides a framework for all stakeholders and partners to implement the Council’s approach to the procurement of goods, works and services. This includes elected members, corporate directors, senior managers, staff, trade unions, procurement specialists, and suppliers in the private, voluntary and social enterprise sectors. 

The strategy provides a clear corporate policy framework, management arrangements and performance information for all procurement undertaken by, or in partnership with, the Council.
