Quotations and tenders process
The Council has procedures in place that requires it to invite
quotations and tenders. Potential suppliers are either invited as a
result of short-listing procedures or may be invited under open
arrangements. Offers are assessed using tender assessment
criteria.
Contracts that have a value of over £30,000 have to go through the
Council's formal tendering process, which involves tenders being
returned in specific envelopes, which are then opened formally by
Council members.
A more informal quotation system applies to contracts under the
value of £30,000.
Furthermore, tenders for goods and services above an estimated
value of £139,893 and for works above an estimated value of
£3,497,313 will be advertised in the Official Journal of
the European Union (external link). See the How to find out
about tenders page for more information.
