This section will give you information about selling goods, services and work to Islington Council. Details on specific areas can be found by clicking the relevant links on the left hand side of this page.
The council is divided into six departments:
We also oversee Homes for Islington, an organisation that has managed our rented and leasehold housing since 5 April 2004. We own Homes for Islington but it works as a separate organisation and is responsible for its own contracts. For more information, click on the Homes for Islington link on the right, under Useful Websites.
Our procurement unit helps all council departments to buy in works, goods and services. The way we buy goods, services and works is set out in our procurement code. To view a copy of the code, click on the How we Buy Goods and Services link under the main navigation list, on the left side of this page.
This code provides a framework for procuring (buying in) goods, services and works. It aims to make sure that we get value for money and spend our money properly.
One Islington
We are committed to One Islington and the four main priorities of:
Listening to Islington’ – listening to what local people want, proactively improving services based on what we hear and feeding back to people to find out if we have got it right
Stronger communities – improving the quality of life of all residents and reducing the gap in life chances between the most and the least deprived
A greener, cleaner and safer borough – improving the quality of Islington’s environment by making it a safe and enjoyable place to be for all communities.
Decisions on awarding contracts are among the most important decisions a manager will have to make. The contracts we award should support our commitment to sustainability, be ethical (morally correct) and support equal opportunities.
Individual council departments are responsible for their own purchasing activities, except where we award corporate contracts.
We have awarded the following corporate contracts:
