About procurement

All our services involve procurement. This can range in scale and includes:

• buying in an entire service, for example through the private finance initiative
• purchasing key components, such as large capital assets
• buying smaller items such as office equipment.

Any decision to provide a service internally rather than outsource should also be regarded as a procurement decision.

We spend millions of pounds on the procurement of work, supplies and services each year. This provides companies of all sizes with a range of commercial opportunities.

How to find our tenders and contracts

We use the London Tenders Portal to advertise requirements, solicit expressions of interest, quotes and tender submissions. For further information on our tendering process please contact lewisham.procurement@lewisham.gov.uk

All of our awarded contracts can be found on our contract register.
