From Transactional to Strategic: Unlocking better outcomes through stronger council-supplier relationships

Strong supplier relationships are essential to delivering better procurement outcomes in local government, but what transforms a transactional relationship into a strategic partnership?

Join LGP and World Commerce & Contracting for an insightful webinar exploring new research into supplier relationship management across Australian councils and suppliers. The research examines what drives successful procurement partnerships and how councils can create greater value through strategic procurement practices.

With increasing pressure on councils to deliver more with limited resources, effective supplier relationships are becoming a critical part of achieving better community outcomes while maintaining strong governance and accountability.

Hear from Sally Guyer, CEO of World Commerce & Contracting, and Bronwyn Challis, Director Customer Engagement at LGP, as they unpack the research findings, discuss their relevance to the local government sector, and share practical strategies for strengthening council-supplier relationships. Discover how councils and suppliers can move beyond transactional contracting to build collaborative partnerships that deliver long-term value.
