Supplying the council

The information you will be asked to provide will depend on the value and nature of the contract and will be used by the council to determine whether you meet our minimum requirements.

You will generally be asked to submit some or all of the following:

• A procurement specific/supplier suitability questionnaire covering economic and financial standing, technical and professional ability, compliance with relevant legislation
• The award questions, including any pass/fail questions, method statements and technical questions
• Certificates and declarations, including form of tender, certificate of non-collusion, acceptance of form of tender
• Your price for the goods, services or works being tendered

Top tips

• Always read the procurement documentation carefully to ensure that your organisation is fully able to provide the contract as specified and to ensure you fully understand those requirements.
• Any clarification questions should be submitted within the stipulated timescales and using the method prescribed, as should your completed Quotation or Tender submission.
• Provide all the information requested
• Make sure that you answer all questions accurately and adhere to word counts/ page numbers where stipulated
• Take account of any weightings that are applied to the questions in order to understand what the important outcomes for us are
• Consider the award methodology and whether your response allows for the highest possible marks to be awarded in all cases
