Doing business with us

Welcome to the Allerdale
Borough Council pages on how to do business with the
Council.
We spend approximately £17 million each year
with external companies providing a range of commercial
opportunities.
We buy goods, works and services from a wide range of suppliers
and service providers and award contracts to those organisations
that can meet the Council's requirements. Contracts can range from
small, one-off purchases up to multi-million pound service
contracts lasting several years.
The Doing Business with the Council guide, available to download below, has been
produced to explain how to go about trading with Allerdale Borough
Council. It is intended to enable you to feel
confident in approaching the Council and maximise your opportunity
to gain Council business.
There is a great deal of competition for the
Council's contracts and this guide cannot assure individual
businesses of success. However, it should provide sufficient
information to allow businesses to present their products or
services in compliance with our purchasing processe.
