Get up to speed with Local Buy!

Becoming a pre-qualified Local Buy Supplier can take your business to the next level and open doors within the Local Government Industry that may not been closed. 

Local Buy offers a suite of pre-qualified supplier arrangement to a wide range of organisations in Queensland including:

·        Local Government

·        State Government

·        Educational Establishments

·        Government Owned Corporations

·        Not-For-Profit Entities

·        Charities

Essentially, Local Buy takes away all the hard work for the buyers by forming a list of suitable suppliers. The way these lists are form is through an open market tender, where all suppliers are invited to respond if they would like the opportunity to become Local Buy pre-qualified.

The following information is evaluated by a panel of experts from councils across Queensland:

·        Financial Stability

·        Licenses/Insurances/Qualifications

·        Organisational Capabilities

·        Quality Assurance (If required)

In some cases, we establish ceiling prices and all suppliers must agree to the terms & conditions of the contract.

Local Government employees have strict guidelines that they must follow when they procure goods & services on behalf of council and they are audited annually to ensure the legislation has been adhered to. Local Buy helps to streamline this process and allows councils to engage with suppliers on a Request for Quote basis rather than performing a full tender. This saves both supplier and council a great deal of time and money.
