Local suppliers win with new policy changes |
|
A more sustainable local business community will be the winner of an overhaul to the City of Cockburn’s Procurement Policy and the establishment of a Cockburn Supplier Register. Recent Council-endorsed changes to the City of Cockburn's procurement policy mean it is now a mandated requirement for the City to seek a quote from a local supplier when one is available, for purchases valued above $20,000. The concept of ‘buying local’ continues for lower value quotes where possible. |

List your services on our website The Cockburn Supplier Register enables local and regional businesses to list their services and contact details on the City’s website, making it easier for City staff to connect with them in the process of procuring goods and services. The City will give higher preference to businesses operating from within its boundaries, but will also give some preference to suppliers from our local neighbouring South West Metropolitan council areas, over those from the wider Perth area where possible. The intention is to balance competition with economic benefits for the Cockburn community while fostering the development of local markets. |
