Tendring District Council is a member of the Procurement
Agency for Essex (PAE). The PAE represents 15 member Local
Authorities and Essex County Fire and Rescue Service and works to
promote and facilitate collaborative procurement across
Essex.
The PAE have adopted BiP Solutions to provide Buyer Profiles and
a Procurement Portal. These Portals use the "Select Service" to
provide an on line pre-qualification service for the public sector.
This service aims to bring buyers into direct contact with
suppliers of products and services purchased by the public sector
across Essex.
Although, at Tendring, we have not yet fully developed this
facility you may like to register as a supplier on the Portal. This
may enable you to receive contract opportunities from across
Essex.
The Portal allows suppliers to register their interest in
current and future opportunities, and begin the pre-qualification
process that is required by suppliers to the Public Sector. The BiP
Select service offers a simple and structured approach to
registering interest and pre-qualification which will deliver value
for money to both buyers and suppliers.
Suppliers can begin by registering an interest on Select and
complete pre-qualification at a later stage should an opportunity
arise. However as the Select registration is for virtually the
whole of the Essex Public Sector many suppliers will want to begin
their pre-qualification early. This can be done by using the Select
Certify Service.
To achieve Select Certify status, suppliers complete an on-line
self-certification questionnaire, which is free of charge.
Please be advised that it is not mandatory to use the BiP Select
Service.

Service. |
