An introduction to procurement for public sector customers

Construction & Procurement Delivery (CPD) provides professional procurement services to NICS departments, agencies and non-departmental public bodies.

Understanding the CPD services available to public sector customers

CPD offers a range of services to customers, depending on whether they are requiring procurement of supplies and services, construction works or services; or advice on managing projects or programmes.

All CPD customers may find it helpful to read relevant Procurement Policy Notes and to learn about pre-market engagement.
