Purchasing for local government has become more complex. There are increasing pressures on local government procurement professionals everywhere to think and act more strategically, to be more aware of current and future trends in a challenging industry and to network with others around the nation who are facing similar challenges. This website is a response to those needs. What you can see on this home page is a preview of what is coming in the next few days and weeks. It will soon grow into a resource where you will be able to access advice and see what other procurement professionals are doing around Australia. You will be able to contribute-and collaborate. It’s our site-for you!
Our new name and symbol reflect these changes in the industry. It is suggestive of a barcode, but as we know, purchasing is no longer simply purchasing. The different colours reflect the different complexities and yes-we’re now national. The lines also represent the many different communities and clusters across the nation that Procurement Australia works with. If you would like to know more about why we’ve changed, click here.
