Knutsford Town Council undertakes procurement in line with its Financial Regulations and sector best practice. For all contracts above £5,000 in value, the council must seek three written quotations. For contracts above £60,000 it must undertake a competitive tendering process. It is subject to more stringent rules for major procurement which is less common (services over c. £200k, works over £5m).
