Strategic partnering protocol

Rotherham Council's approach to procurement is to achieve best value through effective procedures and robust option appraisal leading to a clear mix of service and goods provision.  The Council can demonstrate its strength in building sound relationships through a variety of models such as Private Finance Initiatives (PFIs) and Joint Venture Companies (JVCs), whilst recognising the value that small, local businesses - including charitable organisations - can offer. 

Rotherham Council looks to drive continuous improvement so that our procurement service will carry on providing best value and meeting the demands of its users' needs.  View our current Procurement Strategy (2009-12). The Procurement Panel oversee implementation of the Procurement strategy.

The Council will procure goods, services and works by the most efficient and sustainable means to ensure that the needs and aspirations of the community are furthered, within a clear framework of accountability and responsibility.  In doing so, the Council will strive to become best in class by adopting world-class procurement practices and techniques.
