Business and tendering opportunities
Our Procurement Strategy puts community wealth and local benefit at the heart of our tendering process and ensures that there are opportunities for local businesses in the procurement of products and services.
Whilst cost and value are important factors, we cannot underestimate the economic benefits of making the very most of local skills and services. Economic, social and environmental factors will also be considered at all stages of the procurement cycle.
A key focus is to help drive competition and innovation across Mansfield, among a range of suppliers. In particular, supporting access to contract opportunities for small and medium sized enterprises, voluntary and community organisations and social enterprises.
How to become a supplier
Where possible, contracts under £100,000 for construction and under £50,000 for non-construction are ring-fenced for businesses in the Mansfield district and surrounding areas.
We have a form to enable businesses to register their interest in future council contracts below £100,000.

Procurement Act 2023
Public procurement is changing. On 24 February 2025, the rules that shape how public bodies buy goods and services will change.
The Procurement Act 2023 introduces new measures to improve and streamline the way procurement is done which will benefit prospective suppliers of all sizes, particularly small businesses, start-ups, and social enterprises.
A new central digital platform is now operating called Find a Tender (link opens in new window). This is where all UK contracting authorities publish information relating to procurement. It is also the place where identifiers are recorded and/or issued and for suppliers to input their commonly used information. It is a fully integrated digital platform where noticing, sign-in and registration, supplier information all work together to support public sector procurement.
More information is available from a factsheet about the Find a Tender platform (link opens in new window).
