GENERAL INFORMATION.
London Tenders Portal (the "Portal")
Most of the Council's tendering exercises will be undertaken through the London Tenders Portal (new window), and all communications will be managed through it. Where the Portal is being used you must register an interest on it in order to participate (registration is free). Approximately a third of the London boroughs also subscribe to using the Portal and by registering you will also receive email notifications of other relevant opportunities as and when they arise from the participating organisations (as listed on the Portal). The above link can be used for those who are already registered or organisations registering for the first time. If you are registering for the first time on the Portal the system provides a Supplier Registration Wizard and you will need to complete each step. Once you have completed your registration application form it will be reviewed. If another person within your organisation has previously registered an interest on the system your application will be rejected and an e-mail explaining why will be sent to you. You will need to contact that person within your organisation that is already registered and have them set up an account for you. Once your application has been accepted you will receive an email informing you of this and giving you a username and password, you will then be able to access this opportunity (and others that may be on the system).
