Our purchasing policies
Every year, we spend about £1.5 billion on a huge variety of goods and services.
Managing such a large procurement operation efficiently is a job we take very seriously. To guarantee we meet the highest standards, we employ only professionally qualified and trained people to oversee the process.
While our primary concern is the interests of our stakeholders, it is our policy to treat our suppliers fairly and ethically at all times. As a minimum, we comply with all relevant World Trade Organisation and European Union guidelines. Beyond that, we take pains to ensure our tender processes and contracts are as even-handed and transparent as possible. To view examples of our supplier policies please click on the links or documents below. These policies are for reference by suppliers completing any Invitation to Tender response. Compliance to these policies and/or instructions within is expected in any eventual contract.
