Our Service
We want to encourage suppliers to bid for Council work by
providing information and contacts.
Havant Borough Council spends about
£10 million each year on a wide range of goods and
services.
-
- The Council does not own housing stock;
- Leisure Centres are run by the Horizon Leisure Trust;
- Revenues and Benefits (including
income processing) services are outsourced to Capita Business
Services;
- The Information Technology service is provided by Hampshire
County Council in partnership with the Council;
- The only bailiff private companies
that the Council directly employs are two companies in respect
of collection of car park debts;
- The Council has a joint management
team with East Hampshire District Council and is intending to
provide other services jointly.
The Council seeks to obtain best value from its suppliers and
evaluations often take into account both cost and quality.
We do seek to pay bills promptly and within the agreed
terms. If delay in payment is causing you difficulty (e.g. if
your business is suffering cash flow problems) please do make us
aware of the issue and we will do what we can to help.
We hope you find the information useful. Please click on one
of the following links for more details.

Please note that authorities across the South East Region
advertise tendering opportunities, generally over a certain
threshold and below the EU procurement thresholds, in the
South East Business Portal. It is free to
register for Suppliers and this registration enables suppliers to
receive e-mail alerts regarding opportunities, and to express an
interest in the opportunity. There are 74 councils and 9 fire and
rescue services in the region.
