Procurement strategy
Our Procurement Strategy provides us with a clear vision. It sets out the strategic aims which will direct and govern procurement over the next four years.
Tender documentation
Standard documentation that we use when undertaking a tendering exercise include:
- Standard Selection Questionnaire
- general conditions of contract (must be included with every tender) either:
- general conditions for supply of services
- general conditions for supply of goods
- specific terms and conditions (should be reviewed on a case by case basis and used when relevant)
- form of tender - tenderers must sign this. It states they are making a formal offer which is legally binding (must be returned with the tender documents)
- non-collusive tendering certificate - tenderers must sign this. Proving they haven't colluded with any other company when making their proposal (must be returned with the tender documents)
- articles of agreement - document signed by representatives of the Council and the successful supplier. This makes the contract binding
If there is a need for a contract in your area please email us at strategic.procurement@northtyneside.gov.uk
Standing orders with respect to contracts
The purpose of standing orders is to set clear rules for the procurement of goods, works and services for the Council.

White Ribbon Campaign
White Ribbon UK is a leading charity engaging with men and boys to end violence against women and girls. North Tyneside Council is proud to be a White Ribbon organisation, standing up and making a difference. We would encourage all organisations that work with us, including our suppliers, to join us in this commitment.
Violence against women within or outside an organisation is a serious and preventable issue. Male violence in all forms has an impact on the health and safety of employees, their wellbeing and productivity. It impacts workplace culture, organisational reputation, and success.
The White Ribbon Campaign works to engage men in speaking out about violence against women and girls. It challenges gender stereotypes underpinning such violence and challenges cultures that lead to harassment, abuse and violence against women.
