Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on this consultation. Council endorsed the attached policy on Tuesday 29 November.
Councils make decisions everyday about the purchase of goods, services and works needed to deliver key council services and infrastructure to the community. The Procurement Policy guides these decisions.
As part of the Local Government Act 2020, Council is required to have a Procurement Policy. This Procurement Policy must specify the principles, processes and procedures that apply when Council is purchasing goods and services, or carrying out works.
Council recently revised our Procurement Policy with some minor changes. These changes relate to:
- Treatment of tax
- Conflicts of interest
- Victorian Construction Suppliers Register
- Evaluation criteria
- Training
- Breaches, and
- Exemptions
