About the buyer

Brent Council is a London borough council and local authority, running procurement through its own in-house corporate Procurement team. Open tenders are advertised and suppliers submit bids through the council's ProContract portal. Lower-value contracts are generally sourced and managed directly by individual service departments across the council. Larger, higher-value contracts are instead led by the corporate Procurement team. A dedicated local supplier database lists smaller-value opportunities specifically for businesses based in the borough. Brent's own Contracts Register, published on the ProContract portal, records every awarded contract going back to 2012.

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 Brent's contract awards have been in health and social work, business services and construction work.
