procurement strategy
Haringey Council is establishing a catering operator procurement framework, while Harrow Council reviews its highways contract strategy.
Haringey Council is establishing a framework to select a catering operator for the Civic Centre and other council-owned assets for a four-year period. The council's Cabinet decided in November 2025 to recommend an early procurement process, allowing the chosen operator to contribute to the selection of appropriate kitchen equipment.
Meanwhile, Harrow Council abandoned a procurement process for a Highways, Street Lighting and Associated Infrastructure Works Contract in September 2025, after spending £130,000. Councillor Paul Osborn, Leader of the Council, decided that awarding a contract would not represent value for money, leading to an 18-month extension of the existing contract with JB Riney, subject to cabinet approval.
