ABOUT CENTRO'S PROCUREMENT TEAM

Procurement plays a key role in the delivery of Centro's business objectives. Whilst Procurement sets procurement policy, in line with best practice, for the organisation we are also responsible for delivering best value procurement solutions for all goods, services and works required by the business.

The Procurement team manages the procurement process for all business requirements with a value exceeding £25,000. Our services range from specification development to award of contract, and providing post contract support and review for all requirements. We also manage the procurement process for any requirements below £25,000 that are of a complex or high risk nature. Procurement also manage Centro's corporate insurance arrangements.

For requirements with a value below £25,000, Centro operates procurement self service, which means that Centro employees are able to undertake procurement activities, provided they follow the guidance and policies of the organisation. This initiative allows Procurement to focus on high risk and/or high value purchases on behalf of Centro.
