What are the Council's standard conditions of purchase?

HBC's Standard Terms and Conditions are set out on this page and apply to all contracts, orders and purchases unless alternative terms and conditions are provided to the Supplier by HBC and are deemed to be attached to every Purchase Order issued by HBC.

The Contract arising from a supply made in response to a Purchase Order is comprised of the documents that shall consist only of these Terms, the Purchase Order, any specification or description of requirements provided by HBC, and any proposal made by the Supplier if accepted by HBC. No terms put forward by the Supplier shall form part of the Contract unless specifically signed by both parties and in the event of conflict, the Purchase Order, these Terms and HBC's specifications shall prevail.
