How to do business with the council
Gateshead Council encourages competition and welcomes bids from new and established suppliers.
Contracts are awarded for their value for money and whilst the council cannot discriminate in favour of locality, we are committed to supporting and encouraging local firms to compete for contracts.
Guide for suppliers and contractors
We have produced a guide to assist suppliers and contractors who wish to supply the Council with goods, materials, services or works. It helps in the following ways:
-
It outlines the rules that the Council must follow;
-
It alerts companies to the opportunities to supply the Council;
-
It explains how to bid for Council work;
-
It advises of the other contacts within the Council that companies may need to make;
It also supplements the Council's standard procedures and ensures we obtain value for money.
What are the benefits of working with the Council?
We are:
-
Fair;
-
Non-discriminatory;
-
Professional;
-
A long established organisation;
-
Prompt to pay.
If any company is interested in pursuing business opportunities with the Council, they should respond as requested to an advertisement or contact the officer responsible for that area of business.
