About the buyer

Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is a London local authority, procuring goods, works and services for the borough's council services. Corporate, housing, construction, property and environmental contracts are advertised through Delta eSourcing. Adult social care, children's services, school works and public health opportunities run through Jaggaer instead. Suppliers must register on the Central Digital Platform to bid, a requirement under the Procurement Act 2023. Healthcare services procurement follows the Provider Selection Regime rather than a standard tender. A published corporate contract register lists live contracts and their expected re-tender dates.

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 Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea's contract awards have been in IT services, construction work and health and social work.
