Boroughs collaborate heavily — shared services, joint frameworks and pan-London DPS arrangements are common, so one contract can serve several boroughs.

How do I win Research and development services and related consultancy services contracts in London?
Evaluation tenders are scored on methodology rigour: named research leads with publication records, realistic sampling/recruitment plans and ethics handling decide outcomes. Departments reuse trusted suppliers via research frameworks and DPS lists, so getting onto those (and delivering the first small study impeccably) compounds into repeat awards. Most boroughs advertise through the CapitalEsourcing portal or ProContract as well as Contracts Finder, and many require London Living Wage commitments as a scored or mandatory element. Responsible Procurement is formal GLA policy — expect social value, air-quality (ULEZ-compliant fleet) and local-employment questions in almost every evaluation.
