How to win council business
|
|
We operate a fair and open competition by following
transparent competitive quotation and tender processes. It aims to
provide a wide range of businesses with a variety of commercial
opportunities. We endeavour to provide all businesses with the
knowledge they require enabling them to submit quotations or
tenders for contracts and provide guidance on some key factors that
businesses will need to consider in relation to the procurement
process.
Effective relationships with suppliers, both large and small,
together with the development of the local supply chain are
fundamental to achieving our objectives.
