About LGCA
Local Government Contracts Australia (LGCA ) was formed in 2024 to modernise local government procurement and contracting in Australia through innovative solutions.
Through the assembled LGCA team of highly capable and experienced staff from within local government and state-based aggregators, we have gained invaluable insights into the persistent challenges within the procurement and contracting landscape. These experiences have driven us to establish LGCA with a mission to set a new industry benchmark by addressing common council procurement issues, including:
- Tendering regulations that fail to incorporate best practices in panel establishment and management
- Barriers to entry for small businesses
- Excessive costs and overly stringent tendering requirements
- Lack of robust contracting principles
At LGCA, we are committed to creating a more efficient, inclusive, and cost-effective procurement environment for all council buyers and suppliers.
Vision
To modernise local government procurement and contracting by fostering an inclusive, transparent, and sustainable marketplace that benefits all stakeholders, including councils, suppliers, and the community.
Mission
To establish and manage the National Local Government Supplier Register. With industry experience and close collaboration with both buyers and suppliers, we aim to balance their needs and preferences to create a neutral and effective
platform for all parties.
