OPDC contracts
We purchase goods and services to help deliver OPDC's priorities. As part of the GLA Group, Transport for London (TfL) manages how these goods and services are procured.
We also provide funding through grants to voluntary and community organisations. On this page you’ll find details of which organisations have received grants and the amounts we provided.
Becoming a supplier
You can find information on supplying and contracting (including how to register as a supplier) over at the TfL website.
Terms and conditions for our purchase of supplies, services and/or works may vary from case to case. However, our standard Purchase Order Conditions of Contract will apply unless a contract has been agreed and signed separately.
If you’d like more information about our procurement process, please email the TfL Procurement and Supply Chain Team or call them on 0343 222 5100.
Useful websites
We use a number of websites to advertise contracts in line with standard procurement procedures. These sites, which are also used by TfL and other public sector organisations, include:
- www.gov.uk/contracts-finder - the national lower-value contract opportunity portal run by the Department for Business Innovation and Skills (BIS)
- www.competefor.com - a free service that enables businesses to compete for contracts linked to major public and private sector buying organisations. This site was used successfully for the London 2012 Games
- www.ted.europa.eu - TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) is the online version of the 'Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union', dedicated to European public procurement. TED provides free access to business opportunities across the European Union, the European Economic Area and beyond.
Grant funding
We do not have a central, annual grants funding process. Instead, all of our grants relate to particular projects, such as our previously run Great Place Scheme. We do not currently have any open grant funding opportunities.
Transparency
As part of our commitment to be transparent about how we spend public money and award commercial contracts, we publish:
- our invitations to tender
- a register of our contracts
- contracts themselves, via the government's Contracts Finder website
- grants that OPDC has awarded are published on the 360Giving website reflecting our transparency commitments, with grants the GLA have awarded published here
- a Modern Slavery Statement (updated annually), setting out the steps we are taking to address the risks of slavery and human trafficking taking place in any of our supply chains
360Giving is a charity that aims to improve transparency in grant-giving by publishing information in an open and standardised format.
Responsible Procurement
We are signatories to the GLA Group Responsible Procurement Implementation Plan.
