Applying for council contracts

Advice and guidance on how to apply for council contracts.

The online procurement portal allows you to view current contract opportunities and recent tender awards. You can also declare your interest in an application and download tender documents. We have produced a  business guide [111KB] that provides information on how to apply for council contracts. The council's  standard terms and conditions of purchase [26KB] are also available for download.

The government provide an on-line procurement course "Winning the Contract".  This is a FREE resource to help businesses (and in particular SMEs) learn about public procurement and how to bid for public sector contracts.  The course can be accessed via the Business Link webpage at:   www.businesslink.gov.uk/procurement.
