We are for local.
Since 2001, Local Buy has been committed to supporting and investing in the advancement of procurement. All services offered by Local Buy are focused around reducing risk, saving time and realising value in procurement processes.
The transition to Active Arrangements ensures we continue to support the broad procurement needs of Queensland councils, while also providing local suppliers with more work opportunities, more often.
Starting in August 1st 2021, all Local Buy LGA Arrangements are Active!
This means our tenders open every 3 months, instead of every 3 years. We are excited to be giving suppliers more opportunities to pre-qualify and work with their local government.
More work opportunities
Free to verify for small businesses
More opportunities to qualify
Streamlined tender process
Simplified Arrangements for visibility
Tenders open every 3 months
Advanced compliance rigour
Better access to local suppliers
More visibility of suppliers
Local Buy works in partnership with other Local Government Associations.
These partnerships enable suppliers on nominated arrangements to be engaged by buyers in the Northern Territory and/or Tasmania.
All of the Arrangements supply to QLD, but if you want to know which supply to NT and TAS, you have a couple of options.
Option 1, check out the LGANT and LGAT websites, they are a great source of information about the LGA and applicable Arrangements.
Option 2, when tenders are open, a link is live in VendorPanel. Just remember you will only see the link when Arrangements are open in Feb, May, Aug, Nov.
Still have a few questions? Then please connect with LGANT, LGAT or Local Buy.
