Lambeth is committed to responsible procurement. That means, in addition to achieving the maximum possible value from the funds we spend on products, services and works seek to secure additional economic, social and environmental benefits for residents.
Lambeth Council will not ask suppliers to re-submit bank account details by email or website. The only exception will be where:
- we are following up to verify a bank account change request received directly from the supplier
- Lambeth provides the supplier with a link to our Oracle financial database for the supplier to update records.
If you are in doubt, please contact corporateprocurement@lambeth.gov.uk: before submitting any data.
We will use our procurement process to:
- improve value for money and create efficiencies where possible
- improve the quality of services delivered on behalf of the Council
- encourage innovation and creative service delivery when and where possible
- ensure that suppliers and contractors operate in accordance with legislation and the Council’s policies
- consider where we might be able to deliver social value
- ensure that suppliers meet the Public Sector Equality duty as detailed in the Equalities Act 2010.
We expect competition - from comparing quotes for low value purchases to formal tenders for contracts over £100,000 or high risk.
