At London & Partners, we adopt a variety of sourcing approaches to meet our procurement requirements and always seek to ensure we deliver best value for money.
Our engagement with suppliers is governed by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and relevant legislation.
We trade under our own terms and conditions [PDF 132 KB]. However, if we are procuring under a government framework, we contract under the terms and conditions associated with that framework.

Public Contracts Regulations 2015
Public-sector procurement is subject to a legal framework which encourages free and open competition and value for money, in line with internationally and nationally agreed obligations and regulations.
For the purposes of the regulations, London & Partners is deemed a “contracting authority” and is therefore bound by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
We are committed to competitively tendering contracts which are above the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) thresholds.
Current public sector thresholds
Tenders can be run when procurement values exceed the following thresholds:
Thresholds applicable from 1 January 2022 (inclusive of VAT)
- Supply and services contracts (central government): £138,760
- Supply and services contracts (sub-central government): £213,477
- Works contracts (central and sub-central): £5,336,937
Thresholds applicable from 1 January 2024 (inclusive of VAT)
- Supply and services contracts (central government): £139,688
- Supply and services contracts (sub-central government): £214,904
- Works contracts (central and sub-central): £5,372,609
Our procurement policy
Below these thresholds, we adhere to our own internal policies and procedures.
Our overriding requirement is that all procurement must be based on value for money and should be achieved through competition, unless there are compelling reasons to the contrary.
When a tender process is not subject to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, because the estimated value of a contract falls below the relevant threshold, we continue to apply the principles of non-discrimination, equal treatment, transparency, mutual recognition and proportionality to all.
