Stage 1 - creation of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). Suppliers will apply to join the initial DPS, the Council publish details of the works and form of contract, and Suppliers return details of their capability and ability to deliver according to the contract, successful Suppliers will be admitted to Stage 2.

Stage 2 - Suppliers will be invited to bid for individual projects advertised as mini-competitions via In Tend.

Suppliers who are not on the DPS will not be able to compete for business with the Council.

In order to join the DPS, a Supplier will be required to meet selection criteria and minimum standards as set out in the documents, which form part of the application process.
