Tips for winning North East contracts

NEPO is the key framework

NEPO (North East Procurement Organisation) is the regional purchasing consortium covering all 12 North East councils. Most regional public procurement flows through NEPO frameworks — being listed is the single highest-leverage win for North East suppliers.

Tees Valley industrial

The Tees Valley has significant industrial regeneration spending (Teesworks, freeport zones). Industrial services, environmental remediation and infrastructure contracts appear regularly.

Newcastle Hospitals scale

Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is one of England's largest, with regional specialist services and a major teaching hospital footprint. Its procurement alone is substantial.

Frequently asked questions

What's NEPO and why does it matter?+

NEPO (North East Procurement Organisation) is the shared procurement consortium for all 12 North East councils. Most regional public buying flows through NEPO frameworks, so being on a NEPO framework is the most efficient route to multiple councils.

How do I find Durham County Council tenders?+

Durham is a unitary authority and publishes on Contracts Finder and Find a Tender Service. WinAContract aggregates both. Durham also uses NEPO frameworks for many recurring services.

Is the North East a single procurement region?+

Yes — the 12 councils across Tyne & Wear, Northumberland, Durham and Tees Valley operate as one NUTS region and share procurement infrastructure through NEPO and the North East Combined Authority.
