Lismore City Council
Doing Business with Council
Lismore City Council is committed to ensuring that we achieve best value, fairly and transparently when spending public money. We are focussed on:- meeting the needs of the community, including giving preference to locally sourced goods and services where feasible,
- promoting good management practices,
- ensuring transparency and probity, and
- promoting sustainability.
Council must go to open tender for goods, services and materials above $250,000 by virtue of Part 7 of the Local Government Regulations (General) 2005.
Procurement below this level is governed by Lismore City Councils Procurement Policy and Guidelines. The process may include going out for quotes, a tender or putting out an expression of interest depending on factors such as the nature of the contract, the complexity involved, the value of the requirements and the availability of suppliers. It is also open to Council to engage with entities such as Local Government Procurement and Procurement Australia, which have negotiated some approved contracts for use across Councils.
The Tendering Guidelines for NSW Local Government provides more guidance on these processes.
