Value for money

Gateshead Council must choose contractors that meet certain regulations. To bid for contracts, contractors must be registered on the Gateshead Council Dynamic Purchasing System.

We award contracts to the best-priced tender, following procurement laws. Contractors must provide sample quotes and proof of quality controls. We make long-term agreements with contractors who provide the best value. This removes the need to request tenders for every piece of work, allowing projects to move forward quickly.

These contracts help us ensure we maintain our residential stock to a reasonable standard, meeting our requirements under the terms of the lease.
