Find more information on how to submit a tender

Council has created a seven-step tendering guide on how to submit a tender.

Offers will be evaluated on a number of criteria outlined in the tender documentation in order to determine which offer, having regard to all the circumstances, appears to be the most advantageous. Your response to these criteria will be evaluated in accordance with our Procurement Policy, so in order to support your offer fully, please complete all returnable Schedules and provide the information in the format requested before the closing date and time.

If you are successful with your tender you will be advised via a Letter of Acceptance which formally creates the contract. You will be required to supply various documentation before works can start such as; accreditation with BNG Conserve, safety, environmental and traffic management plans, and contract Security.  

If you are successful with your quotation you will be advised via a Purchase Order with a reference number at which time you can commence the supply of goods, works or services to Council.
