e-Procurement introduction
Welcome to the Waltham Forest guide on how you can sell your products and services to the Council.
Waltham Forest Council buys goods, works, and services from a wide range of suppliers and service providers. The Council awards contracts to those organisations that can meet our requirements and standards. Contracts can range from small, one-off purchases up to multi-million pound service contracts lasting several years. Details of currently-open tenders are set out on the Council tenders page.
The purpose of this guide is:
- to provide the business community, including suppliers of goods, works or services, with an explanation of how and why the Council procures what it needs;
- to enable the business community to gain greater access to the Council for the purpose of selling goods, works and services;
- to encourage businesses to compete for Council contracts.
The Council has well-established procedures for offering work or buying products and does not usually respond to unsolicited enquiries or applications. These procedures can vary depending on the type of product the Council is buying, as well as its value.
