Our Publication Scheme

The Scheme sets out the kind of information we routinely make available to the public as part of our normal business activities. 

It points to information we are required by law to make public and has the intention of making information available, easy to find and use, without people having to contact the Council. 

A large amount of information is already available on this website, but if you want more information contact us and if we can supply it, we will.

Procurement information 

Contract Register

An up to date list is available of all current contracts either awarded by or participated in by Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council which is published via the North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO) procurement portal.

The contract register includes details of all contracts, commissioned activity and framework agreements. This register is updated as new contracts are awarded and will therefore always include the latest information, rather than publishing a static register.

Invitations to Tender (ITTs) with contract values over £5,000 or the applicable Local Authority Tender threshold

All current ITTs are published via the North East Procurement Organisation (NEPO) via the Opportunities Portal.

In order to see Stockton opportunities please follow this process:

• click on "Search Latest Opportunities"
• select "Stockton Borough Council" from the Organisation dropdown box
• click Search tab (this will display all opportunities that are open to all suppliers, including Invitations to Tender)

This function is updated as new ITTS are published and will therefore always include the latest information, rather than publishing a static record of Tenders.

Children in our care

When a child or young person is looked after, they might live with an 'in-house' council foster carer; an independent foster carer; or with carers in a children's home. 

The table below shows the number of children residing in each type of placement mentioned above, in the last five financial years.

The figures above are taken from the data available on our system on 22 February 2024. Some children will have experienced a change of placement type within the reporting year and will therefore have been counted in more than one category.

Other placements include (but are not limited to) adoptive placements; independent living placements; secure units; family assessment centres; Young Offenders Institutions; and placements within a Health or NHS Trust.

The statistics detail Stockton Council's performance in relation to:

1. the percentage of undisputed invoices paid within 30 days
