A note from the CEO, Andrew Haste

COVID-19 LGA Procurement Update 31 March 2020

Dear all,

As we move to new ways of working, maintaining communication will be the key to getting things moving and managing our collective well-being. Our newsletters are our means of staying in touch with you and will be produced regularly. Please propagate the latest edition throughout your organisation.

The ability for your council to source goods and services will be compromised in ways that we cannot yet imagine, yet new opportunities and alternative approaches will arise. Our newsletters will bring you important snippets of information, supply opportunities, red-tape reduction strategies, policy amendments, legal advice, red-hot deals, pragmatic solutions and insights into trends and crazy ideas as they emerge.

We have called on our National Procurement Network members to collectively understand the procurement landscape and supply chain limitations and will progressively inform you of developments as they arise.  We will pass on the upsides, the downsides and everything in between.

Stay close, we will sort this out together.

Regards,

Andrew Haste
