Harrogate Borough Council currently spends over £20 million annually on goods, works and services. We are keen to ensure that local businesses are aware and able to tender for Harrogate Borough Council contracts.  However,we need to put this into perspective, As a District Council we do not provide education or social services. In fact, the seven District Councils in North Yorkshire (out of 22 in the Yorkshire and Humber Region) only account for 2% of total regional procurement spend. Therefore there are also further opportunities for local businesses to tender for contracts with other local authorities in the region.
