Working as contractors

Our organisation works with voluntary, community and private sector organisations, providing companies of all sizes with a wide range of opportunities. The goods and services vary, for example, from supplying and fitting a carpet, to the construction of major buildings, and for the provision of equipment from paper clips to computers, furniture and other high value items.

We would like to work in partnership with local suppliers by encouraging them to tender for our Trust’s contracts.

A guide for companies

We have produced a guide to help all potential contractors, consultants and suppliers to tender for Trust business. The guide aims to answer some of the common questions raised by contractors when considering doing business with us. It explains what legislation affects the Trust’s tendering requirements and looks at the procedures necessary to secure contracts. For example, how to become an approved supplier, the tendering process and the code of practice when working with our organisation.

There is a great deal of competition for the Trust’s business, and this guide cannot guarantee individual companies’ success. However, it provides a helpful framework for companies during the tendering process.
