Tendering
Tendering is the process used by the Council to invite suppliers to supply goods or services to the Council.
Isle of Anglesey County Council tenders for any goods, services or works which total over £30,000. The aim is to create an effective, fair and transparent competition between companies to ensure value for money for the Council and the taxpayer.
The most popular tendering procedures used by the Council are either:
- the 'Open procedure’: When any supplier can tender for work without going through a pre-qualifying procedure. It is usually used where there are limited suppliers within the market or where the level of risk is low
- the 'Restricted procedure’: Requires suppliers to complete a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) before they are allowed to tender for the Council's work. It is usually used in situations where there is high competition but also high risk
