One of my key roles at Local Buy is to assist councils with onboarding to the Local Buy procurement technology ecosystem and the end-to-end management of the implementation process.
Regional Queensland is unique in terms of the strengths that it can draw on as well as the issues it faces.
We're for Local
When you are tasked with managing a grant, your responsibility doesn't end once an application for funds has been successful - and technology can be an important step when it comes to managing grants!
Local Governments are one of the highest users of contract labour, but often feel out of their depth when understanding obligations under WHS legislation for contractor safety.

The need for quality roads, drinking water, and sewerage services are essential to create livable communities.
In addition to the Local Buy pre-qualified supplier logo we are giving suppliers more support with how they showcase their pre-qualification by providing them with yearly verification statements.
