The Local Government procurement game changer
Supply chain constraints are impacting us all with professional procurement resources hard to find, which is why many councils are leveraging Local Buy Active Arrangements.
With a range of Arrangements that help with projects of all sizes, along with dedicated Category Managers to support you along the way, Local Buy compliment procurement teams to help them become the most effective they can be.
With Local Buy being set up by the LGAQ with legislative exemption specifically to meet the procurement needs of Queensland Councils, Local Buy has done all the legwork in getting Arrangements ready for councils to compliantly engage suppliers local to them with a simple request for quote through a Local Buy Arrangement.
A lot of expertise has gone into setting up these Arrangements so that councils get good value, can quickly and easily engage local suppliers, save thousands in delays and additional costs of outsourcing, and drastically reduce time to engage suppliers.
Having a range of different Arrangements that cover a broad range of industries allows for quick, efficient, and compliant procurement. Many councils have come to depend on Local Buy as their reliable procurement partner, either when they are short on resources, or they need a complete team of experts on their side.
