Supplying goods and services to L&Q

We work with suppliers who share our vision that everyone deserves a quality home that gives them the chance to live a better life.

This page explains what you need to know about working with us, including the latest procurement rules, our expectations, and how to register your interest.

 

Latest rules for public procurement

In February 2025, the Procurement Act 2023 introduced new regulations that changed how public bodies buy goods and services.

If you already supply to L&Q – or would like to in future – we recommend learning more about these changes and what they mean for your business.

Learn more about public procurement from the government.

As part of the new regime, we now publish a forward-looking procurement pipeline with upcoming opportunities.
