Supplying goods, services, and works to Knowsley Council

Knowsley Council uses an electronic system for tendering and quotations (known as The Chest) to enable existing and potential suppliers to view contract opportunities for Knowsley and other councils in the North West.

Any organisation interested in supplying to Knowsley Council can register online to receive e-mail alerts for all opportunities.
The electronic portal allows you to request details of contract opportunities at your convenience.

When your organisation is invited to take part in the tendering process you will be able to download documents from the portal and when you have completed your submission you will be able to upload your finished documents using the portal.

You can amend your submission as many times as you think necessary up until the date and time that the opportunity closes.

The portal is a secure site and you will receive an e-mail notification that your submission has been received.  There is no charge for using this service.

Register your organisation and access contract opportunities for Knowsley Council, the Merseyside sub-region, and the North West.
