Engagement Update - February 2025
By Emma Peters, Head of Engagement
We have three unique face-to-face events planned for the year, starting off with the FNQ Procurement Summit in Cairns on 20th March 2025: FNQ Procurement Summit Cairns 2025 – Local Buy
Later in the year, we will be holding a Fleet Managers Forum in southeast Queensland for the very first time. Following a highly successful event in Townsville in October 2024 we will be sharing the love with our southern council fleet professionals.
We are in the process of organising a central Queensland Procurement Summit in November with a varied agenda of topics to advance Queensland procurement. Keep your eyes peeled on our Events Page on the website for more information.
We will continue to host monthly Local Buy Training and VendorPanel Demonstrations as they have been so popular with our stakeholders from Local Government, State Government and government owned corporations. The next one is on the 13th March, we’d love for you to join us.
Additionally, we have introduced a new initiative for prospective Local Buy Suppliers. In the month proceeding opening our tenders, we will hold an online session to inform and educate about the benefits of being a Local Buy Supplier and the next steps in the process. You’re welcome to join us at our next session in-person or online on the 26th March. This is a great opportunity for new and longstanding pre-qualified suppliers to learn more about Local Buy and how to market your business.
We look forward to working alongside our Category Management team in relation to briefing, launching and promoting a range of new Local Buy Arrangements including Fleet Services, Plant Machinery, Asset Management and Project Management.
If that wasn’t enough engagement activity, you will able to speak with us at a number of Conference throughout the year including IPWEA, LGMA, LGAQ and LGANT.
If there is anything our team can do to assist you, please do not hesitate to reach out.
We look forward to working with you in 2025 to advance Queensland procurement.
