Arrangements

Local Buy has 52 Arrangements covering hundreds of categories. Most of these Arrangements open for tender every three months in February, May, August, and November. Local Buy is the FIRST and ONLY organisation to open tenders this frequently! This provides potential suppliers with more opportunities to get pre-qualified and win work with local governments and other not-for-profits.

Our Arrangements are currently closed for tender, with the next round opening 1 November 2023.

Start by registering with APET360. This is the tender portal that Local Buy uses to receive tender submissions for all our Arrangements.⁠
