Become An Approved Supplier
Why Suppliers Choose LGP Panels
LGP is a NSW-prescribed procurement entity under s55 in the Local Government Act 1993. Councils using our contracts over $250K are legally exempt from tendering themselves. This creates a stable, compliant pipeline of procurement opportunities for approved suppliers across each of our contract categories.
Benefits of being an LGP approved supplier:
LGP endorsement establishes immediate credibility with procurement officers
Single tender approval = 3-5 years statewide access (no council-by-council tendering)
Standardised T&Cs reduce negotiation time across all councils
Pre-agreed pricing schedules eliminate "best price" disputes
