Shaped by Public Sector insight
NEPO's procurement solutions are the result of extensive consultation with the public sector, suppliers and end users, so that we deliver positive outcomes for the communities we serve.
We procure a wide range of goods and services which means our procurement solutions feature suppliers of all shapes and sizes, from SMEs to large multinationals.
We are governed by the 12 North East local authorities:
