Who is Local Buy?

The Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ) created Local Buy in 2001 when councils sought procurement help. Access to Local Buy is a valuable component of LGAQ membership, and the profits are returned each year to the LGAQ, investing to help keep council membership fees low.

Local Buy helps Councils meet legislative, reputation and compliance needs, simplifying the process by connecting councils to pre-qualified local Queensland suppliers, big and small. This saves time and money and reduces councils' need to tender, advertise and prepare contracts.

What is a Pre-Qualified Supplier?

A Local Buy Pre-qualified Supplier refers to a company that has been thoroughly evaluated and deemed to possess the essential technical, financial, and managerial expertise required to deliver services or provide goods per specific standards. Once a company is appointed as a Local Buy Pre-qualified Supplier, it becomes visible to councils and other government organisations searching for the products and services offered through that arrangement.

Why Organisations Choose Local Buy

Local Buy is a trusted and efficient procurement partner for Queensland's public sector entities and beyond. They help organisations by reducing risk, saving time/money and improving governance, and buyers have spent over $1.9 Billion through Local Buy Arrangements over the past three years.

Reduce Risk: Mitigating risks associated with procurement is essential for any organisation. Government procurement is costly, and organisations need to manage fraud and corruption risks, complying with Queensland Audit Office standards. Local Buy offers a robust framework that ensures compliance with regulatory requirements and best practices, minimising the likelihood of legal or reputational issues.

Save Money: Maximising cost-efficiency is one of the top priorities for most government organisations. Local Buy facilitates cost savings through competitive pricing and streamlined procurement processes, often removing the necessity of opening a Tender process.

Improve Governance: Effective governance is essential for maintaining transparency, accountability, and integrity in procurement practices. Local Buy promotes good governance by providing a centralised platform for procurement activities, standardised procedures, and clear guidelines. By adhering to Local Buy arrangements, organisations can enhance governance frameworks, minimise procedural discrepancies, and ensure fair and equitable treatment of suppliers.

Access to Trusted Suppliers: Local Buy is a gateway for councils and other organisations to connect with a network of trusted suppliers who understand the unique needs and challenges of Local Government. With over 4,000 registered suppliers and a growing pool of 250 organisations utilising Local Buy, entities gain access to a diverse range of vendors offering quality products and services.

Conclusion

The statistics speak volumes about the effectiveness and popularity of Local Buy among Queensland's public sector entities. With 800 purchasers actively utilising the platform, including all 77 Queensland councils, a significant portion of Requests for Quotations (RFQs), approximately 60%, are processed through their VendorPanel.

Moreover, the consistent growth in the number of organisations leveraging Local Buy, coupled with a 12% usage increase in 2024, underscores its proven track record in delivering tangible results.
