Procurement and commercial


We demonstrate commercial excellence in order to underpin the successful delivery of business objectives and achieve best value for money and continuous improvement.

This is the vision as set out in our new Corporate Commercial Strategy (PDF 218K opens in a new window), June 2007. The strategy sets out our key objectives for the coming year(s) and how we will deliver them.

Within the UK Border Agency, corporate procurement support is provided by a central procurement team who take the lead on:

  • tendering new contracts;
  • guidance;
  • governance; and
  • the Government Procurement Card (GPC).

In addition, the Agency has a number of professional procurement teams strategically positioned across the business to provide specialist support to major projects and programmes and in business-critical operational areas. The leads in each of these areas come together to form the Agency's Senior Commercial Managers' Forum which is responsible for ensuring commercial excellence across the business and for the successful delivery of the Agency's commercial strategy.

Information about the Home Office Commercial Directorate can be found on the main Home Office website.
