What is Procurement?
Procurement refers to the overall process of acquiring a product
or service. Depending on the value and scope of requirements, it
may include identifying a need, specifying the requirements to
fulfill the need, identifying potential suppliers, soliciting and
evaluating bids and proposals, awarding contracts and tracking
progress and ensuring compliance through subsequent contract
management.
Procurement @ Maidstone
Maidstone Borough Council's Procurement Department works
hard to maintain the “excellent” Authority status awarded by the
CPA. Within this team of procurement champions, this
“excellent” status is vigorously guarded through providing best
value to the procurement process and to the Council as a whole, by
taking advantage of significant spending power in order to drive
down costs and increase efficiencies through procurement strategies
that provide real added value internally and externally.
