Local Government Procurement Guidelines

Overview

What’s this about?

The Office of Local Government (OLG) is inviting feedback from the local government sector and others on the draft content for the Procurement Guidelines for NSW Local Government (Guidelines).

The Guidelines outline best practice procurement principles to support the delivery of quality outcomes that provide value for money while effectively managing risks.

The Guidelines provide clarification on the interpretation and application of the Local Government Act 1993 and the Local Government (General) Regulation 2021 as they apply to procurement activities. They also give effect to recommendations made by the NSW Auditor General and address identified procurement risks, and corruption risks identified in recent NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption investigations.

The Guidelines have been published on OLG's website
