Local Buy Probity

Local Buy is one of Australia’s leading providers of independent probity services to Queensland government entities.

We can provide you with an impartial view of procurement activities, assurance that the relevant probity issues have been adequately addressed, that the integrity of the project is sound, and that the evaluation recommendations are defensible.

Our probity specialists have a depth of knowledge and extensive experience with the procurement process, particularly with politically sensitive, complex, or multi-stage procurement processes.

Our reputation is built upon our independence, meticulousness and compliance with legislative requirements. We understand probity and we understand procurement processes. We also understand the long-term reputational damage that probity breaches can bring to an organisation and to individuals.
