Help for businesses to tender

ARGYLL and Bute Council is committed to keeping local businesses informed of opportunities available to them when tendering for contracts for council services and is encouraging them to attend a local procurement surgery.

The surgeries provide an opportunity to meet procurement officers, learn about the council’s procurement procedures and find out more about forthcoming contract opportunities and the support available through the Supplier Development Programme.

Contracts vary in cost and size, and include re-roofing, fire alarm installations and upgrades and replacements of heating systems, refurbishment of buildings, electrical works, bridge strengthening, parking machines and traffic management works.

Procurement surgeries take place between 10.30am and 1.30pm and will be held in:

❒ Argyll House, Dunoon, on Tuesday October 31.

❒ Kilmory, Lochgilphead, on Wednesday November 1.

❒ Aqualibrium, Campbeltown, on Wednesday November 8.

❒ Eaglesham House, Rothesay, on Tuesday November 21.

❒ Helensburgh and Lomond Civic Centre on Wednesday November 29.

❒ Lorn House, Oban, on Wednesday December 6.

Book an appointment in advance by getting in touch with Gillian Allenby by Friday October 13 by emailing procurement@argyll-bute.gov.uk or calling 01700 501358.
