Terms and conditions

Gateshead Council operates several sets of Terms and Conditions dependant on the goods/services being procured.

Where a competitive procurement process has been completed the subsequent contract will be subject to the Terms and Conditions issued as part of that process to all interested suppliers.

NEPO (North East Procurement Organisation) and its member authorities, including Gateshead Council, use the e-tendering portal NEPO (opens new window) which allows all tender related documentation to be issued and received electronically.

If you are a Contracted Supplier and would like confirmation of which Terms and Conditions you are contracted to, please log into the NEPO Portal (opens new window) and review the Terms and Conditions attached to your tender submission.

For further assistance regarding Terms and Conditions please contact Corporate Procurement on 0191 433 5999.
