How to find opportunities to sell to the council

UK Public Procurement is Changing

Procurement Act 2023

The Procurement Act 2023 received Royal Assent on 26 October 2023. It is expected to come into force in February 2025. For guidance see The Procurement Act 2023: A short guide for suppliers

Provider Selection Regime

The Provider Selection Regime (PSR) came into force on 1 January 2024. The London Borough of Harrow now applies the PSR when procuring healthcare services. For guidance, see PSR Statutory guidance.

The London Tenders Portal

Our current contracts that are valued above £100,000 are listed on the London Tenders Portal (ProContract). This is an e-procurement system on which we advertise and manage the majority of our tender opportunities. Organisations must register on the portal to receive notifications of current opportunities.

Supply Ready Harrow

Are you a local business looking to win public sector contracts and access more supply chain opportunities? Our new programme, Supply Ready Harrow, will train and support businesses to access and compete for contracts from London Borough of Harrow and other organisations.
