Suppliers
LGAT Procurement helps Tasmanian councils undertake best practice procurement and deliver value for money for their communities by leveraging the combined purchasing power of councils around the country whilst buying locally.
The local government sector is a significant and attractive market for the supply of works, goods and services. Being appointed as a supplier to one or more of our panel contracts has many benefits. These include:
Increased visibility and simplified quotation response process which helps you meet local government legislation and other requirements (e.g., social and ethical procurement practices) while saving time and money.
Opportunities for new business – LGAT Procurement contracts are available to councils and other local government entities (they are also available to State Government, not-for-profit and charitable organisations as approved by LGAT).
Access to LGAT events and sponsorship opportunities to increase brand awareness with key local government personnel, including elected representatives, sector leaders and senior executive staff.
Recognition as an LGAT approved provider and promotion of contracts by LGAT Procurement to councils via our meeting papers, network, socials, training, website, and day-to-day engagement.
Interested in joining one of our panel contracts?
Suppliers are appointed to our contracts through a request for tender process.
This process requires suppliers to submit a range of information for evaluation against stated selection criteria – for example, compliance, experience, price, value-added services, etc.
Tenders are advertised in the three regional newspapers (the Mercury, Advocate and Examiner), on our website and on social media – you can access all our tenders which are open and in the market here.
