Partnering brilliantly: Delivering positive impact through responsible procurement with the City of London Corporation
The City of London Corporation’s 2025–26 Impact Report recognises the positive change delivered through responsible procurement.
WPS is proud to have contributed to the report, which highlights the collective impact of the City of London Corporation’s supply chain partners and demonstrates how collaborative working delivers social value, supports local communities, creates employment and skills opportunities, and advances sustainable practices.
As a trusted property services partner, WPS is committed to delivering more than maintenance and improvement works. We work closely with our customers to create positive outcomes for residents and communities through local employment opportunities, skills development, community engagement and responsible business practices.
Being featured in this year’s report reflects the dedication of our teams and supply chain partners, whose commitment helps deliver meaningful social value alongside every project. We are proud to support the City of London Corporation’s responsible procurement ambitions and look forward to continuing our partnership to deliver lasting value for communities in the years ahead.
At the City of London Corporation, we believe responsible procurement is not an optional extra; it is fundamental to how we provide excellent services. Every purchasing decision is a chance to generate wider value for society.
This year, we received more evidence of positive impact from our contract managers and suppliers than ever before. In this impact report, I am proud to share the many ways our supply chain has delivered meaningful impact through; supporting apprenticeships, championing small and diverse businesses, reducing carbon emissions, advancing modern slavery awareness and investing directly in local communities.
These achievements demonstrate what is possible when organisations work together with shared purpose. Partnership is woven into the DNA of the City Corporation and remains essential to delivering the best outcomes for the people we serve.”
