Officers must seek three quotes.  Preferably these quotes need to be in writing, but this could mean a catalogue listing, written record of a verbal quote, or an email. Where possible, two must be from suitable 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.

For items such as specialist publications, where there is only one supplier, there is no need to seek three quotes.

It is not anticipated that Adverts be placed for minor procurements under £1,000.
