All Council services involve procurement, and this can range from buying in an entire service, say through the private finance initiative; to purchasing key components, such as large capital assets; or buying smaller inputs like office equipment. Any decision to provide a service internally rather than outsource it should also be regarded as a procurement decision.

Lewisham Council spends millions of pounds on the procurement of work, supplies and services each year, providing companies of all sizes with a wide range of commercial opportunities.
