Understanding the complexities that come with procurement compliance, we view our partnership with Local Buy as the pathway for local government and other organisations to access our products and associated services easily, efficiently and effectively.
We welcome all councils and organisations to reach out to discover our tyre management solutions - developed to reduce overall tyre cost, keep vehicles on the road, and bring ultimate convenience.
From our initial contact, we can understand fleet size, tyre usage, service expectations, and operational challenges while also working with all stakeholders to understand their key objectives and outcomes. This enables us to prepare and propose a tailored tyre and service solution including a detailed smooth onboarding transition process.
Since June 2025, the Port of Townsville has been one organisation to experience the benefits of National Tyre & Wheel’s fleet tyre management solutions. From the initial RFQ process via VendorPanel to a seamless onboarding transition, the Port’s fleet of 50+ light vehicles, heavy vehicles and other equipment is now fully maintained under our customised tyre fleet management, including frequent inspections, identifications, notifications, and emergency roadside assist.
