The Proposals Process
The Proposals Process
Proposals are conducted in accordance with Financial Regulations.
Officers must get at least three written proposals, including two from local suppliers.
The Kingston Business Directory and the Kingston Voluntary Action's (KVA) publication called 'Directory of Community Organisations' are useful sources for potential suppliers.
If there is a need to advertise, for example if specialist services are required, officers will first place the advert for the attention of suppliers based in the Borough, or use the Council's relevant approved list.
Officers will provide suppliers with a written specification (including the selection criteria), a copy of the Council's model conditions, tell you when proposals need to be received by and also tell you who you need to contact for any enquiries.
Officers will determine the most satisfactory proposal using the criteria in the specification and cost. Once the decision has been made all suppliers who made proposals will be notified of the decision.
