Selling to the council

Suppliers and contractors who wish to sell their goods and services to South Gloucestershire Council should find this section useful.

We buy many of our supplies through the use of corporate contracts. This means we get better prices and it saves time in sourcing products. We monitor these contracts to make sure that suppliers provide the agreed level of service. We are also keen to provide opportunities for small businesses.

NEWS:

See the Small Businesses page (link below) for information about:

  • A free event on winning business opportunities presented by the 2012 Olympics
  • Free training for businesses on how to bid for public sector contracts

We are now publishing our contracts and tender opportunities on the new "Supplying the South West" web portal, alongside a large number of other councils in the South West. Suppliers can register on this site to receive email updates when opportunities arise that will be of interest to them. One registration will cover all participating authorities.
