Guide to Suppliers

The Council has a set of Standard Conditions of Contract that are used for goods. It is our policy to contract under its own terms and conditions of contract.

When you are invited to submit a quote or tender you will be issued with a set of the terms and conditions of any contract that they may be awarded. In addition to the Standard Terms and Conditions all contract letters or purchase orders will contain details of the particular goods or services concerned such as details of price, delivery etc. You should not write on or alter in any way these conditions when you reply. If you do so you run the risk of having your bid rejected.

You should also stick to the deadline given in the invitation letter for receipt of bids. If you should miss the bid deadline it is very likely that your bid will be rejected.

In addition to the Standard set of conditions the Council will provide bespoke terms and conditions for particular circumstances?
