New suppliers please note: Calls to the Strategic Procurement office regarding the supply of goods or services by new suppliers are not encouraged. Please use the e-mail system - callers will be directed to do so in any event.
Bournemouth Borough Council now participate in a one-stop shop window on contract opportunities from a growing number of councils in the South West. Currently, Bath & North East Somerset, Gloucestershire County Council, South Gloucestershire Council & ourselves are participating but we anticipate many more councils in the South West will join in the near future.
This site is known as the Contracts Register & Opportunities Portal (CROP).
Suppliers can, without registering, use the portal to look for information about existing contracts & new opportunities. If you do register, free of charge, you can:
- post a profile of your company, indicating what sorts of opportunity you are interested in
- receive email notifications whenever opportunities matching your profile become available
- register an expression of interest in a published opportunity and request contract documentation to be sent to you.
