How we choose suppliers
When choosing suppliers, we don't just look at cost and how you meet the technical criteria. We also look at social, economic and environmental benefits.
Social value
We follow the Public Services (Social Value) Act.
Our social value commitments include:
- helping communities recover from the impacts of Covid-19
- tackling inequality
- promoting equal opportunity
- improving health and wellbeing
When buying, we're committed to improved quality of life and better value for money. We've signed the GLA Group Responsible Procurement Policy.
For more information, please read the Social Value government guidance on GOV.UK.
Environment
We'll ask you how you can support our goal to reduce our environmental impact. This includes:
- reducing energy use and carbon emissions
- improving air quality
- reducing waste
- supporting biodiversity
You may need to tell us about your environmental management standards.
