The council maintains a number of standing select lists for works contracts and some works-related services contracts when the value of the contract does not require it to advertise in the Official Journal of the European Community. The regular and repetitive nature of these services requires that the staff commissioning the work can gather quotes or tenders from organisations that have already met the pre-qualification standards required by the council.
An application to the standing list therefore requires that these companies supply information to the council on which they can be assessed as having satisfactory resources and procedures to undertake the work on behalf of the council.
Having demonstrated compliance with the council's requirements, companies are placed on one of the standing lists, from which suppliers are selected in rotation and invited to quote or tender. The lists are reviewed every four years and are advertised in the same way as the council's contracts.
