Tenders and contracts

High Peak Borough Council and Staffordshire Moorlands District Council (working together as a Strategic Alliance), procure across both Authorities either individually or jointly. We source a variety of supplies, services and works for both Councils and welcome engagement from local businesses across both regions.

Procurement opportunities across both Authorities are sourced either as a tender (value above £25,000) or a request for quotation (value below £25,000).  Above thresholds for Supplies, Services and Works are procured in accordance with Public Sector, Public Contract Regulations (PCRs).
