Buyer Profile

Introduction top

Chelmsford City Council spends approximately £30 million each year with the private sector. This represents some significant opportunities for a wide range of businesses.

There is a great deal of competition for such contracts. The Portal allows companies to pre-register their interest in working for the Council, and the wider public sector in Essex, and complete an on-line pre-qualification questionnaire. To register an interest click on the Suppliers button and follow the link to the BiP Select registration system. Whilst using the portal is not a guarantee of success, it should provide companies with the best opportunity to offer informed quotations and tenders.

The requirements placed on companies are intended to protect the investments made by the Council on behalf of the residents of the City.
