Southwark: contracts, suppliers and what is coming next.
Southwark is a London borough. We hold 173 of its award notices, 9 contracts due to end within 18 months, and 11 committee papers from the last 120 days that talk about buying. Everything here comes from public records: award notices the council itself published, and the papers it publishes before each committee meeting.
Data updated: 20 September 2026 (committee papers) | 18 September 2026 (award notices)
GovLeads reads Southwark's papers every weeknight. A value is published on 115 of those 173 award notices, so the total is a floor, not the council's spend.
Next committee meetings
The next 5 scheduled meetings at Southwark, taken from the council's own calendar. Papers usually appear five clear working days beforehand, and we read them the night they land.

Biggest suppliers
Ranked by total awarded value across every Southwark award notice we hold. Values on multi-supplier frameworks are shared across the suppliers named on them, so a place on a large framework does not inflate a single firm.
| Supplier | Awarded value | Awards |
|---|---|---|
| Agincare Homes Holdings Ltd - Dorset | £147m | 2 |
| Glenman Corporation | £15.0m | 2 |
| Care Sante London Limited | £13.0m | 1 |
| Thames Homecare Service Ltd | £13.0m | 1 |
| Guideline Lift Services Limited | £10.4m | 1 |
Largest awards of the last 12 months
The biggest awards Southwark has notified in the last year. Awards sharing a title and end date are collapsed into a single row, so a framework or dynamic purchasing system appears once rather than once per supplier.
| Award | Supplier | Value | Route |
|---|---|---|---|
| LBS Social Inclusion Supported Housing Tender4 award notices, shown once | framework, 4 suppliers | £14.5m | Restricted |
| SEND Taxi Framework 20213 award notices, shown once | framework, 3 suppliers | £13.2m | Restricted |
| Professional Services for the Major Works Programme2 award notices, shown once | framework, 2 suppliers | £1.8m | Other |
| Lot 1 Removals, Recycling, Storage and Associated Services | Harrow Green Limited | £1.3m | Other |
| Banking Services | National Westminster Bank | £640,000 | Other |
How the money is awarded
90% of Southwark's awarded value went through open competition and under 1% was awarded directly. Directly awarded work is the part of the market that never reaches a competitive notice, so it is the part you have to see coming upstream.
- Competed 90% (£270m)
- Other/Unspecified 10% (£29.5m)
- Direct under 1% (£757,176)
- Framework/DPS under 1% (£326,000)
Contracts expiring within 18 months
The 5 largest by value on record for Southwark, of those with an end date inside 18 months. A re-procurement decision normally reaches a committee months before the contract itself runs out, which is the point at which scope is still moveable, so the months-left column matters as much as the value.
| Ends | Months left | Contract | Supplier | Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18 Dec 2026 | 2 | LBS Alternative Provision Services Framework11 award notices, shown once | framework, 11 suppliers | £5.5m |
| 28 Feb 2027 | 5 | Supply of Cycle Hangers | Cyclehoop Ltd | £2.5m |
| 6 Feb 2027 | 4 | Professional Services for the Major Works Programme2 award notices, shown once | framework, 2 suppliers | £1.8m |

Procurement radar
Committee papers Southwark published in the last four months whose title uses the language of buying: a tender, an award, an extension, a gateway report, a waiver, or a procurement strategy, policy or performance report. It is a title match, so the odd paper lands here on a word rather than a decision.

Where Southwark spends most
The service areas taking the largest share of awarded value here. Each one has its own page explaining what we watch for.
Where this comes from
Awards, suppliers and expiry dates come from award notices published to Contracts Finder and Find a Tender by Southwark. The award data set was last refreshed on 18 September 2026, so notices published since then are not yet counted here. Values are as notified; where a notice names several suppliers, the value is shared across them.
Committee papers and meeting dates come from Southwark's own published papers, at https://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk. Every paper linked above is on the council's own site. Committee-paper figures were extracted on 20 September 2026.
What we leave out. A notice naming more than one buying authority is excluded, because it does not say how the value splits between them. So are notices from bodies that share this council's name but are separate organisations, such as the local college or NHS trust. Both would otherwise be counted here as Southwark's.
Nothing on this page is modelled, estimated or inferred. Every number is a count or a sum over those two public sources. Where a figure would be a guess, it is left out.
