How to do business with the county council

We buy a large range of goods, works and services to enable the delivery of an effective service for the people of Lancashire and as this is public money we must comply with UK law and EU procurement directives in addition to our own internal standing orders.

The Public Procurement Regulations prescribe that all procurements above (or within 10% of) the threshold limits must be advertised in Find a Tender (FTS).

Procurement rules and laws are in place to ensure there is no discrimination to bidders and there is equal treatment of all potential bidders/suppliers through fair competition.

Procurement in Lancashire County Council is devolved to directorates so is conducted by many individuals in different locations across the county.
