LGP Contract Extended for SULO
24 March 2009
The contract between Local Government Procurement (LGP) and SULO MGB Australia has been extended for a further 12 months. The extension of the LGP contract means that LGP and SULO can continue to assist NSW councils in providing the efficient purchase of high quality MGBs at a competitive price.
The current LGP contract has been running successfully for over two years, providing NSW councils with the advantage of no longer needing to invite tenders for the supply of Mobile Garbage Bins (MGBs).
Local Government Procurement, a company formed by the Local Government and Shires Association of NSW, has been prescribed under section 55(3) of the Local Government Act 1993. This allows councils to utilise supply arrangements coordinated by LGP without the need to go to tender in their own right.
The LGP contract is of benefit to NSW councils as it means that the councils can take advantage of the competitive pricing available, saving money on wheelie bin purchases. The extension of this contract will allow councils to continue purchasing according to the correct pricing agreement.
A similar contract between Local Buy, a company owned by the Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ) and SULO is operating in Queensland. SULO was appointed as the sole supplier of MGBs for Queensland and the contract operates in the same way, allowing councils in the Queensland region to also purchase MGBs without the need to go to tender, at a competitive price.
Both contracts include a variety of MGBs with prices based on volume, providing councils with many options to purchase under the LGP or Local Buy contracts.
