Havering: its biggest suppliers, and what it is buying next.
Havering is a London borough. We hold 319 of its award notices, 43 contracts due to end within 18 months, and 3 committee papers from the last 120 days that talk about buying. Everything here comes from public records: award notices the council itself published, and the papers it publishes before each committee meeting.
Data updated: 20 September 2026 (committee papers) | 18 September 2026 (award notices)
GovLeads reads Havering's papers every weeknight. A value is published on 273 of those 319 award notices, so the total is a floor, not the council's spend.
Next committee meetings
The next 5 scheduled meetings at Havering, taken from the council's own calendar. Papers usually appear five clear working days beforehand, and we read them the night they land.

Biggest suppliers
Ranked by total awarded value across every Havering award notice we hold. Values on multi-supplier frameworks are shared across the suppliers named on them, so a place on a large framework does not inflate a single firm.

|---|---|---|
| Urbaser Limited | £178m | 2 |
| Marlborough Highways | £170m | 2 |
| K&T Heating | £140m | 2 |
| Anjel Direct Recruitment solutions ltd | £100m | 1 |
| AJS Limited | £63.0m | 1 |
Largest awards of the last 12 months
The biggest awards Havering has notified in the last year. Awards sharing a title and end date are collapsed into a single row, so a framework or dynamic purchasing system appears once rather than once per supplier.
| Award | Supplier | Value | Route |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electrical Services | AJS Limited | £63.0m | Restricted |
| Award of Contract to Construct the new Balgores SEND School | Galliford Try Building Limited | £38.6m | Framework call-off |

How the money is awarded
23% of Havering's awarded value went through open competition and under 1% was awarded directly. Directly awarded work is the part of the market that never reaches a competitive notice, so it is the part you have to see coming upstream.
- Framework/DPS 76% (£2.0bn)
- Competed 23% (£618m)
- Other/Unspecified under 1% (£7.5m)
- Direct under 1% (£748,496)
Contracts expiring within 18 months
The 5 largest by value on record for Havering, of those with an end date inside 18 months. A re-procurement decision normally reaches a committee months before the contract itself runs out, which is the point at which scope is still moveable, so the months-left column matters as much as the value.

Procurement radar
Committee papers Havering published in the last four months whose title uses the language of buying: a tender, an award, an extension, a gateway report, a waiver, or a procurement strategy, policy or performance report. It is a title match, so the odd paper lands here on a word rather than a decision.
| Meeting | Paper | Committee |
|---|---|---|

Where Havering spends most
The service areas taking the largest share of awarded value here. Each one has its own page explaining what we watch for.
Where this comes from
Awards, suppliers and expiry dates come from award notices published to Contracts Finder and Find a Tender by Havering. The award data set was last refreshed on 18 September 2026, so notices published since then are not yet counted here. Values are as notified; where a notice names several suppliers, the value is shared across them.
Committee papers and meeting dates come from Havering's own published papers, at https://democracy.havering.gov.uk. Every paper linked above is on the council's own site. Committee-paper figures were extracted on 20 September 2026.
What we leave out. A notice naming more than one buying authority is excluded, because it does not say how the value splits between them. So are notices from bodies that share this council's name but are separate organisations, such as the local college or NHS trust. Both would otherwise be counted here as Havering's.
Nothing on this page is modelled, estimated or inferred. Every number is a count or a sum over those two public sources. Where a figure would be a guess, it is left out.
