Procurement Technology
The fully funded Procurement system for all Queensland Councils
Our fully-funded Procurement Technology and Data Analytics Program is a procurement platform that's available to all Queensland Councils. This future proof solution transforms how local government engages with local suppliers and offers a range of features that streamline the procurement process without sacrificing legislative compliance.
The platform helps thousands of buyers to save time and money and also provides powerful reporting and insights for better decision making and improved local economic outcomes.
