About the buyer

London Borough of Croydon is a local authority procuring for the borough. Suppliers register on the council's e-procurement portal, In-Tend, to view current, forthcoming and awarded tenders. Every procurement follows the council's Tenders and Contract Regulations 2024, its internal rulebook for value-for-money contracts. Contracts above a set value threshold require suppliers to register on the government's Central Digital Platform with a verified identifier. A No PO No Pay policy requires a purchase order before any supplier begins work. Since July 2023 a statutory Improvement and Assurance Panel has held powers to direct council decisions where value for money falls short.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of London Borough of Croydon's contract awards have been in business services, IT services and health and social work.
