Selling to Ealing Council

Ealing Council’s central procurement unit, the Commercial Hub, is embarking on an outreach programme to support small local companies and organisations with a view to providing practical guidance and advice on how to sell to the Council – hopefully assisting with breaking down the barriers that exist or are believed to exist.

We are investigating the most appropriate forms of guidance and support that we can offer on some of the more common areas relating to procurement and tendering. In support of our Council Plan commitments and our Social Value Policy, the Commercial Hub is reviewing its procurement practices to help open up public procurement opportunities to local small and medium-sized businesses.

To help create simpler and more accessible commercial processes whilst remaining compliant with public procurement regulations is not easy. We would therefore like you to tell us what you want in the way of guidance and advice by answering some fairly obvious questions in our survey (see link below). This will help us to create a support tool that has real, practical benefits and outcomes for organisations such as your own.

We will appreciate your time in completing this survey – all feedback and comments are valuable to us at Ealing Council.
