Access a large supply base
Access to Local Buy contracts allows state government clients to access supply arrangements that may not be available at state government level.
Local Buy’s contracts cater primarily to local government functions, as well as a geographically spread local government customer base with a focus on developing competitive local business and industry.
Key benefits
Local Buy contracts enable state government agencies to reduce their procurement risks and save time and money, through access to over 1,000 prequalified suppliers under over 35 contacts. Improved contract quality and governance also are benefits of sourcing goods and services via Local Buy. All Local Buy contracts are established following a full open tender process.
Queensland procurement policy
Local Buy supports the Queensland Procurement Policy 2021 , which includes a focus on procurement in regional and remote Queensland.
