See all of our Australian state government contracts.

Purpose: To facilitate a supply contract for street and park furniture and fittings which deliver value for money through a combined spend arrangement with NSW councils and LGP.

Objectives:

  1. Make rates for councils as favourable for the smallest councils as they are for the largest councils.

Outcomes:
It is expected that the following outcomes will be achieved from the tender process:

  1. Competitive pricing based on the total combined purchasing influence of New South Wales Local Govt.

  3. Suppliers of a wide range of goods that cater for the varying themes and styles councils determine for their localities.

  2. No need to tender – saves time and money
  3. Prescription status
  4. Input and evaluation by councils
  5. Supplier selection and management
  6. Contract management; governance sits with LGP
