Working with us - how to tender for contracts

Interested in doing business with the council?

We use a wide range of contracted suppliers to deliver services across the borough. To find opportunities for existing and new suppliers you need to register to at:

The Chest: Information for suppliers

There is no charge to register with The Chest and it offers suppliers the following benefits:

  • Receive emails on all relevant contract opportunities for not only Rochdale but a number of other authorities across the North West and the rest of England.
  • Contract opportunities and information available at any time and any place through internet access.
  • Reduced tender timescales through the use of electronic communication.

Alternative ways of tendering

If you can't access the internet to register your company, please contact us for information on how to tender without using The Chest.

Our goal is to secure best value for money, and we are always happy to discuss our contracts and purchasing arrangements with potential suppliers in order to achieve this.

Sub-Contract Opportunities

After we award a contract there are often subsequent sub-contract opportunities that you, as a supplier, may be able to benefit from. For further information, please look at the current list of sub-contract opportunities.

Our standards

In all dealings with suppliers and potential suppliers, our officers will do their best to preserve the highest standards of honesty, integrity, impartially and objectivity and to treat all suppliers in a professional and even-handed way.
