Further details are in Procurement Strategy and the Council's Contract Procedure Rules.
The Council has adopted shared Contract Procedure Rules with Three Rivers District Council.
At present the way that councils purchase their goods and services may appear to be complex. In order to assist current and future suppliers, the following guidelines have been prepared to clarify the rules.
This website provides an overview of our procedures and how you should go about offering your particular trade to us. If the Council is going to tender, there is a standard procedure for this. If you require information on the detailed process, please contact the Procurement Manager.
The Council has well-established procedures for tendering for work or buying products and does not usually respond to unsolicited enquiries or applications.
The Procedures are laid down in the document Selling to the Council.
All contracts offered by the Council are advertised either locally, in relevant trade journals, or on the two websites Supply2 and Official Journal of the European Union.
