Planning Information
The engagement process will comprise One to One supplier events via Teams. Two days have currently been set aside to talk to interested parties individually on 25 and 26 September 2025. Each session will last approximately 30 mins at which Southwark will briefly set out what it is looking for, then invite each supplier to respond and pose any questions suppliers might have about the contract or the procurement. Note that the consultation may be recorded or notes taken to ensure that the resulting tender pack provides information such that all bidders have the same information and no potential bidder unable to make the dates is disadvantaged. Suppliers should contact Wayne Haywood (wayne.haywood@southwark.gov.uk / Tel: 0207 525 5000) to arrange their half hour slot on 25 or 26 September 2025.
