Procurement

The council has two agreed sets of standard terms and conditions that are used for most contracts:

• Standard Simple Terms and Conditions for Goods and Services (pdf 23KB): these are for contracts with a term value less than £100,000 for goods and/or services.
• General Conditions of Contract (pdf 240KB): these are for contracts with a term value greater than £100,000 for services.

To use these files you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you do not have this on your computer, please use our advice page.

Other sets of standard terms and conditions will be added in due course. These are currently being worked on:

• consultancy services;
• IT-related goods and services.

The council may also use agreed national standard conditions (e.g. National Housing Federation, Institute of Civil Engineers, etc.), amended as necessary to meet its specific requirements.
