Why supply via LGA Procurement?
The local government sector is a significant and attractive market for the supply of works, goods and services.
South Australian councils manage and maintain approximately $23 billion of community infrastructure and provide a wide range of services to the community. Each year councils spend a combined total of approximately $1 billion on works, goods and services.
When procuring these goods and services, councils must operate within a legislative framework that provides structure and transparency and aims to deliver best value for the community.
LGA Procurement harnesses the combined purchasing power of councils to negotiate preferred supplier arrangements on behalf of the sector. These arrangements are established via an open tender process conducted by LGA Procurement, with successful tenderers appointed to preferred supplier panels for each contract/category.
This process enables councils to meet their legislative obligations and gain access to over 340 pre-approved suppliers across 25 different categories such as stationery, trucks, plant, workwear, fuel, ICT and engineering services. It also means that approved suppliers gain access to South Australia’s 68 councils and 30 local government bodies under the same terms and conditions.
