Procurement

What is procurement?

Selwood Housing requires third-party contractors or suppliers to provide goods, works and services to assist with the effective running of the organisation.

Selwood Housing’s procurement team works with colleagues to conduct processes that aim to appoint third parties in line with public procurement regulations and laws. These processes can include tenders, direct awards, or further competitions.

Whilst price is important, Selwood Housing is keen to work collaboratively with contractors and suppliers to deliver value for money while considering quality, safety, reliability and added value in the selection process.

Tender opportunities

Selwood Housing publishes any tender opportunities on our eTendering portal. It is recommended that any suppliers interested in applying for future tender opportunities register on the system. The system will offer the option of signing up for email alerts for categories of interest. Suppliers will also be able to view any live opportunities if applicable.

Thresholds

As noted above, Selwood Housing is obliged to advertise tender opportunities that exceed defined thresholds. The current financial thresholds, valid from January 2024, are listed below:

• £214,904 (including VAT) for goods and services
• £5,372,609 (including VAT) for works contracts.

Our eTendering portal is linked to the Government’s Find a Tender and Contracts Finder services. These are used to advertise above and below-threshold tenders respectively. Suppliers can sign up to these services for free to access UK-wide public sector tender opportunities.
