Selling to Tower Hamlets Council

Suppliers of goods and services that fall below the current EU threshold for quotes and tenders are not required to register with an accreditation service.

We place all of our adverts that fall under goods and services categories with CompeteFor and additionally with other advertising media. CompeteFor is an online service 'free to suppliers and buyers' that has been used successfully for advertising the London 2012 Olympic opportunities. Suppliers who win LBTH contracts that have sub-contracting opportunities are expected to advertise 20% of those opportunities via the CompeteFor site. This means that as the major contracts are let; second; third and fourth tier suppliers will have the opportunity to bid for business. This should ideally mean that small to medium sized organisations and sole traders will have the opportunity to bid for business.
