Supply Wandsworth
Supply Wandsworth is a strategic localised procurement programme, delivered by our Economic Development Team.
Aims
We want to ensure SMEs, community/voluntary organisations and businesses with a Wandsworth postcode have the information and expertise they need to bid and tender for public and private sector contracts within the borough.
The programme will:
- Offer training, learning and support to ensure supplier readiness
- Build a supplier directory - a comprehensive list of local suppliers who are fit to tender
- Enable information to be shared about new open tenders or contract opportunities within the borough
- Develop a buyers' network of multiple stakeholders across private and public sectors
- Run networking events
We commissioned business support organisation Branduin to deliver our Fit to bid supplier readiness training programme.
Local supplier directory
Our goal is to ensure that local businesses are in the best position to bid for or win public and private sector tender contracts in the borough.
We have developed a supplier directory to enable buyers to gain easier access to local suppliers of goods, services and works. It assists Tier 1 contractors, developers, anchor institutions and corporate organisations in the borough to fulfil their social value and local procurement responsibilities.
