As part of Tate’s commitment to supporting its audiences, colleagues, and communities, we have produced a Supplier Code of Conduct.

This code explains the behaviours we expect our suppliers to stick to when doing business with us. The code is built on well-known values and is designed to ‘start the conversation’ between Tate and its suppliers.

We have provided copies of our standard terms that suppliers will accept when they do business with us.

In some cases, you may have your own specific contract (particularly where Tate has gone out to tender or quote) so always check with your Tate contact if you are unsure.

Tate is required to follow the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 when buying goods, works and services, and is subject to the Central Government procurement thresholds.

Put simply this means for contracts over these values we must openly tender these in line with UK law. Tate also regularly advertises opportunities of a lesser value too.

Tate uses the ‘Delta’ system to manage its tenders and we welcome suppliers to sign up to this portal so you can have notification of new opportunities from Tate.

Please also sign up to Contracts Finder which is a UK government website set up specifically to advertise contracts.
