Stage 2 - Invitation to Submit Final Tenders

Suppliers successful from Stage 1 will be invited to submit their tenders which will consist of their pricing, quality and social value methodologies.

The tender submission deadlines stated below only refer to Stage 1.

The tender will be conducted on the Council's e-Procurement System - https://www.eastmidstenders.org/. Suppliers are encouraged to create an account before the tender goes live in order to have sufficient time to review the tender documents and submit a bid on time.
