Frequently asked

Selling to Durham County Council

What has Durham County Council decided to procure?

Why do committee papers matter for winning Durham County Council contracts?

Because the buying is decided in committee months before a tender notice appears. A supplier who reads the decision on the day the papers are published has that lead time to prepare — while a supplier waiting for the notice starts from behind.
