The Queensland Government is partnering with Local Buy, the peak procurement body of the Local Government Association of Queensland, to simplify how you do business with government.
Once you’ve registered, you’ll find opportunities from the Queensland Government and local governments (councils) in one convenient location.
This joint venture, to create a common procurement platform, is the first of its kind in Australia. Read the Queensland Government's Buy Queensland approach and Local Buy Arrangements.
