Pre-qualification questionnaire
To help make the procurement process as accessible as possible, we use the standard Selection questionnaire developed by the Crown Commercial Services.

CSV files
We have produced this information in CSV format so that it can be easily read using different applications. CSV uses a standard column width and so you may need to expand some columns to view all the data.
Supplier Code of Conduct
The Council (in conjunction with ESPO) has developed an ethical Supplier Code of Conduct which applies to all companies/organisations that do business with the Council. The purpose of the Code of Conduct is to set out principles to help suppliers to understand the standards and behaviours that are expected of them when working with the Council.
