Procurement Strategy for 2026-2031
Greenwich Council has adopted its new Procurement Strategy for 2026-2031, focusing on social value and public benefit.
Greenwich Council's Cabinet adopted the Procurement Strategy for 2026-2031 in March 2026. This strategy aims to ensure that the council's £400 million annual spending delivers maximum public benefit, value for money, and measurable social value outcomes for residents. It also strengthens and modernises the council's approach to procurement.
The strategy places a significant emphasis on securing social value and aligns with the Procurement Act 2023, which came into force in February 2025. This Act introduces new duties around transparency in procurement. The strategy will guide the council's procurement activities for the period 2026 to 2031.
