Doing Business with the Council and Tender Opportunities
Birmingham Council spends millions of pounds procuring (buying) work, supplies and services each year, with a diverse LOCAL supply market, of all sizes, offering a wide range of commercial opportunities.
To help us source local suppliers, we advertise any contract opportunities for goods and services (worth more than £25,000) on FinditinBirmingham. The tenders are then processed through the Birmingham City Council's etendering portal.
These dedicated procurement pages help businesses find information about upcoming tenders, keep opportunities LOCAL and generate relevant sector alerts for SMEs that don't have the resource to search through national platforms.
All contract opportunities worth more than £25,000 are also advertised on the national government websites Contracts Finder and Find a Tender.
We make sure that everything we do supports our policies. This helps to make things better for Birmingham’s businesses.
Tender Awards
Birmingham City Council tender awards can be viewed on their electronic tendering portal, In-tend, and also on the Birmingham City Observatory.
The City Observatory provides a public contract register with details of all contracts awarded by the council, including contract titles, supplier information, values, and start/end dates. This dataset shows the current Birmingham City Council contracts register for all contracts with a value of £5,000 or greater.
By making this information available, Birmingham City Council aims to enhance transparency around public spending, encourage healthy competition, and ensure that services delivered to residents represent good value for money. The dataset is an essential resource for residents, businesses, and stakeholders interested in understanding how public funds are allocated and used across the city.
If you have any questions or need advice, please get in touch with the CPS team.
More information about invoicing, payments, procurement terms and conditions and purchase orders can be found on the Council website.
Birmingham Business Charter for Social Responsibility
The Birmingham Business Charter for Social Responsibility is a set of guiding themes to which Birmingham City Council (BCC) will adhere and invites its contracted suppliers, the wider business community, other public sector bodies (including schools) and third sector organisations (including grant recipients) to adopt. In some cases, adopting the Charter is a requirement of specific contracts or grants.
In all cases, adopting the Charter is a visible and recognisable sign of your organisation's commitment to the local economy and its communities.
The Birmingham Business Charter for Social Responsibility aims to boost the local economy through support to the local supply chain, creation of job opportunities and ensuring employees are paid a fair wage.
Charter signatories will need to consider and describe how they can improve the economic, social and environmental well being of Birmingham and its citizens.
Any organisation can sign up to the Charter.
As part of the BUY LOCAL commitment, you are required to create a FinditinBirmingham account to help increase the accessibility of opportunities available to local businesses across the supply chain.
Organisations that bid for higher value contracts with the Council must sign up to the Charter.

Upcoming Opportunities
Birmingham City Council is committed to supporting local businesses and one of the ways we are doing this is to give you current information on our upcoming contracts, and the expected date that they will be advertised on FinditinBirmingham.
This schedule of ‘Planned Procurement Adverts’ will be updated monthly on FinditinBirmingham and details the procurement activity coming up over the next few months where the contract value is between EU Threshold (£164,176) and £10m.
Please note: These are not yet live opportunities until they are advertised on FinditinBirmingham. (Planned dates as stated are approximate and may vary).
Don’t miss out: It is essential that you are registered in the sectors that relate to your business on FinditinBirmingham. This can be done via your ‘Dashboard’ in your ‘Personal Profile’ and ‘Sectors of Interest’. Any opportunity posted in your sector will generate an email alert to tell you the advert is now live so making sure this section is complete is important.
