Suppliers register free on Atamis, gaining access to opportunities that further councils also publish on the same system.

New suppliers complete a Trading with the Council form, issued by their named contact, before starting any work. Capita Business Services processes invoices and payment queries on the council's behalf. Commissioning guidance and standard contract terms aim to make bidding more accessible to organisations new to the council.
