Local Government Contracts Australia (LGCA) has proudly merged with SHOP Consulting to form a single, unified brand. As one organisation, LGCA now offers councils a complete end-to-end procurement solution. Backed by a shared commitment to ethical, compliant, and value-for-money outcomes, this merger simplifies how councils access expert support across every stage of the procurement lifecycle.
What this means for you is simple. There will be no disruption to existing services. The consulting division, previously known as SHOP Consulting, will continue operating with the same expert team you’ve come to trust—delivering policy writing, tender facilitation, probity advisory services, and tailored training.
What We Do

Our commitment is to maintain ethical, practical, sustainable and value driven processes.
