How we advertise for tender opportunities
All advertisements for contracts over the EU Threshold will be advertised in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Lower value tenders will be advertised in Local/National papers, appropriate trade journals, on our website, or in some cases, through direct contact with suppliers.
The advertisement may:
- Be an 'open' invitation which means that anyone who wants to can tender for the contract being advertised
- Ask for 'Expressions of Interest' which means that you will have to fill in and return a questionnaire asking for information about your company - this information will be used by the Fire Authority to select a shortlist of companies who will be invited to tender
- Go directly to preferred suppliers (where applicable).
