LGAQ Local Buy
Local Buy is the Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ) procurement services company.
Local Buy develops contractual arrangements for use by Queensland councils and government entities, eliminating the need for government authorities to establish their own supply contracts.
A contract established by Local Buy enables councils and government entities to purchase a diverse range of goods and services from Local Buy contractors.
You can view Local Buy procurement opportunities, download tender documents and lodge tender submissions via the Local Buy website.
