Procurement Guidance

Purchasing goods, services or works

When procuring works, goods and services, applicants are expected to conduct the process in a manner which ensures openness, value for money and fairness and must follow the procurement procedures as they are outlined in this section.

Think Carmarthenshire First

For purchases below £25,000 please consider ‘Think Carmarthenshire First’ when seeking quotations for Goods/Services. Therefore, we encourage you to explore the marketplace to establish if there are any businesses within Carmarthenshire that can provide the goods / service that you are seeking to purchase and include them in your invites to quote. Carmarthenshire County Council and businesses operating within the County have a big role to play in the economic recovery of Carmarthenshire and local supply development is fundamental.

Procurement Thresholds

The precise procedures to be followed will depend upon the size of the order or contract to be let. Carmarthenshire County Council (CCC) operates a graduated set of procedures which recognises the need to lighten administrative requirements for contracts involving smaller amounts. The procedures that we would expect applicants to adhere to can be found in Annex 1
