Doing business with Neath Port Talbot Council

Contract Opportunities are advertised in the following ways:

Sell2Wales

This is the national procurement website developed by the Welsh Government. Registration on the site is free, and provides access to contract opportunities across the Welsh public sector. There are many benefits to registering with this site, including the ability to set up email alerts that will automatically inform you when suitable contract opportunities are published.

Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU)

If European Procurement Thresholds are exceeded, the contract notice will also be advertised in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU). Registration on the site is free and provides access to the entire content of the OJEU, including archived information. Email alerts based on your profile can also be activated to inform you of suitable opportunities.

Specialist journals/local press 

Where appropriate, opportunities will be advertised in one or more specialist trade or professional journals, or in the local press e.g. Western Mail, South Wales Evening Post.

The advertisement

The Council's advertisement (also known as the 'Contract Notice') will normally specify:

• The nature, purpose and duration of the contract
• Whether expressions of interest or tenders are invited
• Instructions that explain how interested organisations can take part
• The closing date and time for expressions of interest or tenders
