Compliance
We make it easy to check approved contractors for a standard level of compliance across Work Health and Safety (WHS), insurance and other industry specific Australian Standards and that they have not previously been in breach of any legislation.
Pricing and Approved Contractor Specifications
To maintain transparency, each contractor supplies their standardised pricing for us to evaluate and monitor through the term of the contract. This includes ceiling prices that can’t be exceeded (not including commodity market-based products or services).
Experience, Qualifications and Licences
Contractors, together with their employees and subcontractors, hold the appropriate licences during the contracted period and this is confirmed for the duration of the work being performed. They also have shown evidence of their experience and qualification at the point of tendering.
Sustainable Procurement
For maintaining sustainable procurement, contractors outline their overall business practices as well as their ethical supply chain activity and adherence to the modern slavery legislation.
Standing Offer Deed or equivalent contract document
Our commitment to our approved contractors is outlined in our Standing Offer Deed, which includes the contract terms, agreed pricing and the specified customers they can work with.
Authorised Agents / Subcontractors

Tendered Rates
Information regarding LGP’s pricing can be found in VendorPanel. Rates located under this tab are generally for low volumes and one off purchases. For large or committed volumes or projects in scope of this contract a Request for Quotation (RFQ) can be requested from contractors on the panel.
Insurances
Councils should note that LGP panel members update insurance on a cyclical basis. LGP will expedite any outstanding information, but regardless, insurance policies can be cancelled or lapse at any time and councils should always seek confirmation directly from contractors where-ever contract risk is high.
The preferred method of seeking a quote is via VendorPanel. A RFQ template is available to assist with completing a well considered specification.
For more information on making purchases see our How to Guide.

Please contact your Business Manager for more information and a copy of the authorisation and acceptance form.
