• Doing Business with Kingston Council

Each year the Royal Borough of Kingston spends millions of pounds on goods, works and services.

The Council is committed to working in partnership with its contractors and suppliers. We take a positive approach to procurement and aim to create a business friendly environment for both the Council and its partners to work within.

The information contained within these pages aims to help all potential contractors, consultants and suppliers to tender for contracts with the Royal Borough of Kingston.

We’ve also included information on what legislation and rules affects the Council’s tendering requirements and the procedures which apply to tendering for Council work.

All contracts must comply with UK law, and with the Council’s Standing Orders, Financial Regulations and procedures for obtaining quotations, tenders, and awarding contracts.

The information and guidance here will tell you what we need, what we buy, who we buy from, how we advertise, and how we work.

In addition we have answers to frequently asked questions and a jargon buster that provides definitions of commonly used procurement terms.

You can also view related documents in pdf format, including the policies and strategy that inform all of our procurement activities and ensure that we achieve our aims. These documents can be found within the Key documents for procurement in Kingston page.

A pdf version of 'How to do Business with Kingston Council guide' is available under the Related Documents heading at the bottom of this page.
