Doing Business with Council

Council's Project Management Office is responsible for carrying out the procurement and contract management processes at Council. Council regularly enters into competitive arrangements for the purchase of works, goods and services needed to provide 'best value' procurement outcomes to ratepayers and others in the community.

The principle of 'best value' does not mean that Council will automatically select goods and services with lowest price. Council will balance all relevant factors including initial cost, whole of life cost, quality, reliability and timeliness to determine actual money for value. Council is committed to conducting with fairness and probity in purchasing goods and services in accordance with Section 55 of the Local Government Act 1993 (NSW), the tender provision within the Local Government (General) Regulation 2021 - Part 7- Tendering and in accordance with the Council's adopted policies and associated procedures.
