Suppliers and contractors can find out about current council tenders and contracts in several ways.

• Write in response to an advert in the press or the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU).
• E-mail the lead officer.
• Contact the lead officer.
• Be included on the select list of approved suppliers for particular elements of work.

Council tenders and contracts may also be advertised in various publications, such as:

• the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU)
• the trade press
• the local papers

The intention is to give existing and potential contractors and suppliers the opportunity to do business with the council. All council tenders will provide necessary details as in Tendering for Contracts.

The council is also proactively looking at electronic tendering to allow companies to submit both pre-questionnaires and tenders electronically. Regretfully, we cannot currently accept electronic tender document submissions.
