Summary of the contracting process
The London Borough of Southwark, a sub-central government authority, is currently in the planning stage of procuring Community Equipment Services for the South East London (SEL) boroughs of Bromley, Greenwich, Lambeth, and Southwark. The procurement process involves initial market engagement, where the council seeks input from providers to inform future commissioning decisions.
