Supply Wandsworth

Aims

The programme was set up to ensure local SMEs, community/voluntary organisations and businesses have the information and expertise they need to bid and tender for public and private sector contracts.

Supply Wandsworth will:

Offer training, learning and support to ensure supplier readiness
Build a supplier directory - a comprehensive list of local suppliers who are fit to tender
Enable information to be shared about new open tenders or contract opportunities within the borough
Develop a buyers' network of multiple stakeholders across private and public sectors
Run networking events

Originally just covering organisations with a Wandsworth postcode, we are pleased to now expand the scheme to Richmond as well.

Fit To Bid programme

We have commissioned business support organisation Branduin to deliver a new round of their Fit To Bid supplier readiness training programme.

This provides SMEs with a proven structure, practical tools and strategic insight to grow confidently, stand out in competitive markets and secure more contracts.

We recently held a launch webinar, which included presentations from our Procurement team and Branduin:

You can also view the presentation slides which outline our responsible procurement strategy, and where to register for contract opportunities in Richmond and Wandsworth as well as those in the wider public sector and government.

Sign up now to learn more about the opportunities on offer for members, including our popular bid skills webinars and workshops.

Free business advice sessions

We are pleased to invite SMEs based in the boroughs of Richmond and Wandsworth to register for a free one-to-one tender business advice session.

These confidential sessions will be held with an expert advisor, and are designed to help you identify and overcome your key challenges, navigate the complexities of the supply chain, and be in a better place to win new contracts.

Limited places are available, including some reserved for previous attendees, to review your progress.

Meet the buyer event

Make a note in your diary to join us at our Meet the buyer event taking place in South London on 2 October 2025, from 3 to 6pm. The venue will be confirmed nearer the time.

Local supplier directory

We are delighted to invite you to submit your details for the new 2025 edition of our supplier directory.

We are producing this directory as part of our efforts to ensure that local businesses are in the best position to bid for or win public and private sector contracts in the borough. It will assist Tier 1 contractors, developers, anchor institutions and corporate organisations in the borough to fulfil their social value and local procurement responsibilities.

Whilst the directory aims to showcase Wandsworth-based businesses, we also welcome submissions from suppliers in our neighbouring boroughs of Croydon, Sutton, Merton, Kingston and Richmond.

Submit your details

We hope to publish the completed directory by September 2025.
