Our procurement team works hard to help us acquire the works, goods and services we need to operate sustainably and ethically and to deliver strong value for money. The team's responsibilities include sourcing raw materials and services as well as managing contracts and relationships with suppliers. 

We see Futures as an important part of the local community and economy so we are proud to work with and support local businesses.

We are a Contracting Authority and therefore subject to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

When looking for new suppliers, all of our opportunities are advertised on our portal (see below for more information). You can also download a copy of our current list of suppliers.
