Document summary

The Small Business Friendly Concordat is a set of good practice principles that sets out what local businesses can expect when looking to win business from, and when doing business with, the council.

It does not allow the council to automatically prefer local businesses over non-local businesses, a variety of national and EU procurement laws prevent this, but it is about helping to create a level playing field for Lambeth's business sector.

Lambeth Council recognises the important of local businesses to the local economy in terms of job creation and wealth creation, and also in the services that local businesses provide to the community. The council wants to support local businesses as much as it can and this is part of that commitment to them.
