Social Care and Health Procurement
Introduction
Social Care and Health is one of the Directorates of Staffordshire County Council. Our aim is to provide a wide range of services to adults (and their Carers) who, because of their age, disability or mental health, require some assistance in their daily living and enable them to;
-
have control over their lives
-
live safe, healthy and fulfilled lives
-
have an active role in a stronger and prosperous community
-
access the support they need in order to be as independent as they choose.
Priority will always be given to the protection of vulnerable adults.

How do we Procure?
The goods and services procured by the County Council are paid for with public money and so procedures and regulations are in place to ensure a high level of transparency in all stages of the procurement process. Broadly speaking the procedures and regulations fall into five groups:
-
European Procurement directives
-
UK legislation
-
Finance Regulations of the County Council
-
Procurement Policy and strategy and Contract Standing Orders
-
Various procedures and policies of the County Council e.g. CRB policy, Health & Safety policy, Data Protection and Freedom of Information etc
