Procurement is the full range of activities that lead to the effective purchase of goods, services or works. The process spans the entire 'product lifecycle' from initial concept and definition of business need through to the end of the useful life of an asset or the end of a services contract. The procurement process is not just limited to the purchasing function but also the 'creativity' involved in the design and packaging of large or complex procurements.
Fareham's Procurement Strategy sets out the Council's approach to procurement of goods and services which the Council requires, in order to carry out its functions. The strategy is currently being reviewed and will be republished here in due course.
