Procurement
Merton Council’s annual budget is approximately £240m, a substantial proportion of which is spent on procuring goods, services and works that support the delivery of services to the local community. Purchases range from the purchasing of office stationery through to major construction projects.
We have a duty to seek best value and continuous improvement in the services we provide and we are committed to getting value for money from procurement.
