Contract opportunities
If you are interested in supplying goods, works or services to the Council, you will find our contract opportunities from £100,000 advertised on the Government’s national advertising portal Contracts Finder.
In addition, we advertise anything procured as part of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 on the Government’s Find a Tender (FTS) e-notification service. Sign up for email alerts of any relevant opportunities that are advertised on the website.
We also use an e-procurement portal to allow suppliers to submit offers electronically for any of our published contract opportunities. You can sign up to receive alerts for opportunities as they are published.
If you are looking for sub-contracting opportunities, we publish details on our Contract Register of all of our active contracts from £5,000 which includes details of awarded suppliers.
If you have been awarded a contract by the Council under £25,000 and have been sent a purchase order, our standard terms and conditions will apply.
All invoices should be addressed to North Northamptonshire Council.

The Council is taking steps to prevent modern slavery in our operations and global supply chains.
This also applies to concerns about the actions of employees and councillors and external organisations in their dealings with the council.
The Whistleblowing Policy is applicable to the following groups:
- All employees
- All contractors working for the council on council property
- All suppliers to the council
Where possible the Council seeks to ensure that any issues that are raised through the Whistleblowing Policy are dealt with through the internal process outlined.
However, where an individual feels that the issue should be raised outside of the council, please view to Government advice on how you can do so.
