  <content> *Corporate Procurement Services* (CPS) lies at the centre of the Council's procurement activity and provides specialist support to all Council departments, other associated public organisations and Schools in all tasks relating to buying a wide range of goods and services using a variety of contractual arrangements.

The Procurement&amp;Commissioning Strategy 2008 - 2010 (please see attachment below) sets out Birmingham City Council's approach to using its resources in the best possible way to meet the needs of Birmingham's citizens and secure its strategic outcomes.
