Procurement Policy

Providing Procurement advice to the Council and its suppliers.

All procurement undertaken by the London Borough of Enfield must follow the Contract Procedure Rules (CPRs) that form part of the council's constitution. The rules reflect the council's financial regulations and standing orders in addition to the UK and EU procurement directives. The CPRs enable us to ensure that fair, robust and transparent procurement processes are in place.

The council has a general policy of not paying invoices which do not quote an order number. Suppliers are strongly advised not to accept request for goods or services unless this is in the form of an official Enfield Council Purchase Order.

 

The Council's payment policy is to pay suppliers 30 days after receipt of an acceptable invoice, which must quote the purchase order number, failure to do so will result in your invoice being returned unpaid. The Council only pays by BACs and to be a supplier to the Council you will need to accept these terms.

 

The council uses an e-procurement system and wherever possible conducts business electronically.

Please ensure that you have read the council's CPRs to understand how you can do business with us.
