PROCUREMENT The primary procurement objective for Sligo County Council is to get optimum value for money while complying with all EU Directives, National Legislation, Public Procurement Policy, Circulars and Guidelines. The key procurement principles incorporate fairness, openness, transparency, mutual recognition, nondiscrimination and proportionality. Sligo County Council actively uses national procurement arrangements where they are suitable to our needs. These arrangements have been put in place by the Office of Government Procurement and the Local Government Operational Procurement Centre. The Procurement Section under the guidance of the Procurement Officer is in place to provide a dedicated inhouse resource for the organisation in respect of Public Procurement requirements. Formal responsibility for Procurement Governance is assigned to the Head of Finance. Procurement within the organisation is decentralised, with buyers in all areas of the council, with most of the high value procurement being conducted using the two electronic procurement portals: www.etenders.gov.ie and www.SupplyGov.ie. Suppliers interested in tendering for contracts should ensure to register with both of these portals. In 2020 Sligo County Council went to market with 182 tender opportunities for supply of goods and services or works contracts. The sudden onset of the Covid-19 pandemic necessitated urgent procurement of appropriate PPE, cleaning services, IT equipment, signage, and modification works to public buildings and public spaces.
