In September 2023, Birmingham City Council announced it was effectively bankrupt.

Following this, we wanted to better understand the procurement footprint of the UK's - and Europe's - largest local authority.

This Procurement Profile uses data from [Tussell's market intelligence platform](https://www.tussell.com/gov) to paint a high-level picture of Birmingham CC's spending, top suppliers, most-used frameworks, and more.
