Tender opportunities

There may be opportunities for businesses of all sizes, including SMEs and VCSEs to supply goods or services to the public sector. This can be through a direct contract with the Council or by working as part of a wider supply chain.

North Lincolnshire Council is committed to making procurement more accessible and transparent in line with the Procurement Act 2023, which aims to reduce barriers for SMEs and VCSEs and increase visibility of public sector opportunities.

NLCProcure – is the Council’s online procurement portal and is used to advertise contract and tender opportunities.

NLCProcure is a free, web based system that can be accessed from any computer. Suppliers can register at no cost, and guidance is available within the portal to support new and existing suppliers through the registration and tendering process.

Commercial pipeline

  • The North Lincolnshire Council Commercial Pipeline provides a forward view of our anticipated procurement activity. It includes planned major projects and procurement opportunities with an estimated value of £100,000 and above, and is refreshed on a quarterly basis.
  • All procurement opportunities are advertised in the first instance via the Central Digital Platform, in line with the Procurement Act 2023. Each notice will include a link to NLCProcure, where full tender requirements, documentation and submission details will be published.
  • The information contained within the Commercial Pipeline is provided for planning and market awareness purposes only. It does not constitute a commitment by the Council to proceed with any procurement activity and should be viewed as an indication of potential future opportunities.

Contracts awarded

Contracts awarded with a value of over £5,000 are published in our Contracts Register spreadsheet, which is updated on a monthly basis.

For the period ending 31 March 2025 no contracts have been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.
