As a territorial authority, Council must be able to show that any procurement is an efficient, effective and economic use of public money. Regardless of the value of individual procurement transactions, all procurement activity should be properly planned and conducted.
The intention is to implement procurement practices that:
- Achieve the best value-for-money outcome;
- Ensure maximum leverage of Council’s total purchasing power through adoption of an organisation‑wide perspective;
- Ensure full and fair opportunity (where appropriate) for all suppliers to obtain Council business; and
- Establish sound commercial contracts that focus on service delivery, performance management, risk mitigation, cost reduction and value‑of‑money outcomes.
