We undertake our purchasing and procurement activity in a fair, open and transparent manner.

All NSTA contracts over £12,000 are awarded following competition between potential suppliers unless there are compelling reasons why competition cannot be used or there is a central government framework in place.

As per the Procurement Act 2023 contracts are advertised on the Central Digital Platform and the Delta e-Sourcing portal, both platforms are free to register and use.
