The London Borough of Southwark has awarded a contract for a comprehensive Procurement and Third Party Spend Review. The project aims to enhance procurement effectiveness, optimise external spend, and strengthen contract and supplier management practices in line with the Procurement Act 2023 and the Council’s Southwark 2030 vision. The review covers all categories of third party spend, assessing supplier relationships, benchmarking procurement practices against best in class standards, and evaluating governance frameworks and the contract lifecycle. The Supplier will deliver data driven insights and actionable recommendations to inform a redesigned procurement and commissioning operating model. Expected outcomes include: • Full visibility and categorisation of third party spend through development of the contract register. • Identification, validation and prioritisation of at least ten high impact cost saving opportunities. • A baseline and benchmark of the procurement lifecycle, with proposals for a redesigned operating model aligned to the Council’s ERP replacement programme Southwark360. • Benchmarking organisational capability and workforce capacity against the National Procurement Policy Statement. • Strengthened contract management and provider performance to ensure value for money, improve accountability and reduce risk. The Supplier will provide practical deliverables including inception and progress reports, stakeholder engagement summaries, spend analysis dashboards, business cases, toolkits and a final strategic report consolidating findings and recommendations. The contract runs from 6 October 2025 to 6 March 2026 and has been awarded under Lot 6 of the CCS RM6187 Management Consultancy Framework.
