London Borough of Southwark · Local authority

In brief

London Borough of Southwark has announced plans to buy transport work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £13,200,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 5 years, up to 7 years with extensions, starting 3 April 2028.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.
