Purchasing

Overseen by Business Services which supports all tasks relating to the purchase of goods and services. The majority of our requirements are obtained from centrally contracted Government contracts. In awarding contracts, our aim is to obtain best value (a balance between cost, quality, performance and delivery).

Where ConstructionSkills is the contracting authority, where appropriate, goods/services will be advertised on our website. The exception to this is when the value reaches the OJEC threshold, in which instance these will also be advertised in OJEC.

Supplying goods/services process

1. Review the list of advertised tenders
2. If interested complete the supplier application form and Email to the person stated.
3. Upon receipt ConstructionSkills will evaluate with all other interested suppliers considering experience and suitability. We cannot guarantee that an expression of interest will result in you being asked to tender.
4. ConstructionSkills will decide the most cost effective method of contracting to obtain best value.

ConstructionSkills only have two methods of ordering

1. An official order that must be quoted on all invoices (payment of satisfactory invoices within 30 days), or
2. Corporate purchasing cards.
