Procurement

Procurement is the process by which an organisation acquires goods, services and works from third parties.

For Orkney Islands Council, procurement supports every aspect of the Council’s work and reaches into many areas from routine items such as stationery, IT consumables and office furniture, to complex areas of spend such as construction and infrastructure related projects. It also includes a growing spend where the private and third sectors provide key services directly to citizens in areas such as social care and health.
