Inter Authority Agreement
The Joint Committee of Brent, Lewisham, and Southwark is enforcing social value in contracts.
The Joint Committee of the London Boroughs of Brent, Lewisham and Southwark decided in July 2025 to strengthen social value enforcement in contracts. This policy applies to all new contracts valued above £100,000, with financial repercussions for non-compliance, according to a Public Reports Pack presented at the meeting. The procurement team has been collaborating with key suppliers to integrate social value into their contracts.
An Inter Authority Agreement is a legal agreement between multiple authorities that outlines their responsibilities and operational framework for a joint service or project. The decision by the Joint Committee reflects a collaborative approach to procurement across the participating boroughs.
