Selling your products and services to West Berkshire Council
There are many opportunities for suppliers to work with West Berkshire Council, and we're particularly keen to encourage more tender applications from small and medium-size businesses.
Some of the benefits of supply the public sector in the UK include:
- little or no risk of bad debt
- prompt payment terms
- potential for ongoing work
- responsibility to provide services irrespective of economic conditions
Trading successfully with the public sector can also give your business added credibility when dealing with private sector customers.
We publish all of our current tendering opportunities online.
