The information on this page is presented in the format of frequently asked questions. Please click a question from the index below to see the appropriate answer.
Does the council have approved lists of suppliers? How do I get on them?
Where approved lists are in force, and only a small minority of departments have them, they are determined and held by the individual departments, the procurement department does not hold centralised approved lists.
However, the procurement department can advise on those individuals (contract officers) within the council responsible for specific service areas. Suppliers will need to approach the relevant contract officer within the relevant department directly in order to be considered for the approved list. Further information can be found on our selling to the council page.
I want to become an 'Approved Supplier'. How do I do this?
Complete the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) online. Further information can be found at our Selling to the Council page.
What is the Local Business Portal?
Our local business portal offers more opportunities to promote your business, goods and services.
We will advertise any contracts we are letting including specifications, type of supply and any time-frames. The portal then matches your goods or services with any relevant contracts and emails you with all the details and invites you to submit a quote or bid by a specific date.
For further information visit our Local Business Portal page.
