Welcome to the 'Doing Business with Redbridge’ pages.  The Council buys goods, works and services from a wide range of suppliers and service providers and awards contracts to those organisations that can meet the Council's requirements and standards. Contracts can range from small, one-off purchases up to multi-million pound service contracts lasting several years.

In these pages you will find the information you need to get started in doing business with us:

• An explanation of how and why the Council procures and what it needs;
• How you can gain greater access to the Council for the purpose of selling goods, works and services;
• Information to enable you to compete for Council Contracts.

The Council has well-established procedures for offering work or buying products and does not usually respond to unsolicited enquiries or applications. These procedures can vary depending on the type of product the Council is buying as well as its value. For example, contractors for construction and maintenance type contracts are normally chosen from an approved list, whereas mainstream services are normally exposed to selective tendering.
