The success of a Local Buy contractor rests on their ability and willingness to promote their business to councils and government entities and to offer a high level of service.
Due to the competitive nature of gaining local government business, sustainable market share can only be achieved by building relationships with councils and government entities through personal representation, direct mail and media communications.
As part of your company’s market development strategies, Local Buy encourages you to communicate and promote your Local Buy status when dealing with councils and government entities.
Contractors intending to send marketing material to councils and government entities are encouraged to use the Local Buy logo which may be obtained by request/email to Local Buy's Contractor Relations Officer, Lynda Growcott lgrowcott@localbuy.net.au
Local Buy must review any use of the logo prior to the marketing materials’ release to ensure that our business is being correctly represented. We usually turn around any request for review of marketing material in less than 24 hours.
If part of your marketing strategies includes direct visits to councils and government entities or attending conferences or events where there may be attendance by local government officers, please ensure that all your staff is aware of the contract and the benefits to councils and government entities of using Local Buy arrangements.
If your organisation is on the Local Buy Panel, there is no need for councils and government entities to tender or seek multiple quotes, making the purchasing of goods and services quick, easy and more efficient.
Councils and government entities must quote the Local Buy Contract number on all purchase orders and correspondence to ensure compliancy with the Local Government Act 2009.
