SUPPLIES are the purchasing and distribution unit of East Riding of Yorkshire Council.

We are the major supplier to establishments in education, social services, magistrates, emergency services and local authority administration within the areas of the East Riding of Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire, Hull and Doncaster.

Under the Local Government Goods and Services Act 1977, Supplies are also able to supply to Approved Bodies, which include:- Registered Charities, Parish Councils, Community associations, Non-profit making playgroups, Scouts and Guides.

Our comprehensive stock catalogue contains a range of  over 7,000 product lines, plus an opportunity to purchase non-stock lines.

The Dfes recommends that purchasing should not be done by individual schools, but by larger organisations, such as a local authority. Purchases can then be aggregated to achieve economies of scale along with better terms and levels of service.

EU regulations govern public procurement. Procurement frameworks enable local authorities and schools to buy goods and/or services above the EU procurement threshold value from approved suppliers with levels of service, defined to meet the needs of education. Supplies has established a range of procurement frameworks for education that comply with EU regulations. These provide a simple way for you to purchase the best value and most appropriate products and services, without having to conduct a full EU procurement process.

Framework suppliers must meet Supplies standards and specifications
