The Standard Documents group have now completed their work in updating the region's Standard Documents.

The purpose of these templates is to:

(a) Provide those authorities without consistent standard template document relating to procurement processes with such documents. The benefit from using a standard template is that it both saves time on each individual procurement and provides a good consistent base document.

(b) Develop over time a consistency of documentation emulating from local authorities which provides suppliers, in particular SMEs with a recognised format in which they are comfortable in responding against.

We would like to convey special thanks the following people for their involvement and hard work:

David Hayes - Gedling & Rushcliffe BC
Sandy Williams - Bassetlaw DC
Surinder Kahlon - Derby City
Steve Cotterill - Broxtowe BC
