The Supply of General Commercial and Industrial Products

Derby City Council is inviting companies to tender for the supply of general commercial and industrial products to establish a contract with an experienced company who can supply high performance, high quality and cost effective Goods.

The contract covers the supply of general commercial and industrial products for use in all of the Council's buildings and sites to ensure they maintain a safe working environment. There are a number of different types of buildings the Council occupies in addition to the main office buildings in the city centre. These include Stores Road Depot, Libraries, Children's Centres and Care Homes, which are located all across the city area.

As these buildings are diverse in their nature, the products requirements for these premises will be varied. Therefore, the contract covers such categories as gloves, general hardware, commercial machines and accessories.

An examination will be made to establish the completeness of submitted Bids. The Council reserves the right to disqualify any Bid which is incomplete

Complete Bids will be evaluated in full against the award criteria

A standstill period will be followed after intention to award to the highest scoring Bid.
