About Local Government Contracts Australia

The procurement and contracting landscape within Australian local government is on the brink of transformation. We are proud to announce the launch of Local Government Contracts Australia (LGCA), a groundbreaking initiative committed to bringing Ethical, Practical, and Sustainable Value to local government procurement and contracting across Australia. With over 20 years of experience working for and with local governments, we have witnessed and learned from the longstanding challenges in the procurement and contracting landscape. These insights have driven us to establish LGCA, which aims to set a new standard by addressing entrenched issues, particularly around barriers to entry for small businesses, unnecessary costs, over the top tendering requirements and lack of the rigour of contracting principles. Our goal is to foster a fair, open, and competitive marketplace where all suppliers, especially small, regional businesses and startups, have equal opportunities and pathways to win work with councils. A core tenet of LGCA is the elimination of fees associated with accessing procurement opportunities for contractors. We will not charge for downloading tender documents or impose annual 'admin' or 'verification' fees. These cost-saving measures are designed to lower the barriers to entry for all suppliers, promoting a more inclusive and dynamic procurement environment.
