Local Buy

Local Buy Selects Green Frog Systems as a Preferred Solar Lighting Supplier for South Australia & Queensland Councils and Government Authorities.

Green Frog Systems is pleased to announce our appointment by Local Buy Pty Ltd as a pre-approved preferred supplier for the provision of solar powered street and pathway lighting products.

This arrangement is under the Preferred Supplier Arrangement for RFT: BUS 267 Open Spaces, Parks, Play, Sport and Recreation, for Queensland and South Australian Councils and Government Authorities. We are amongst a select 117 businesses appointed by Local Buy Pty Ltd (Local Buy).

Those to benefit from this Local Buy arrangement include:

• Local Government
• Queensland & South Australia Government Departments and Agencies
• Queensland & South Australian Statutory Authorities
• Not-For-Profit
• Charities

Owned by the Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ), Local Buy is the LGAQ’s procurement service, which allows Councils to access a range of goods and services through a quotation, rather than tender process.

Local Buy arrangements are compliant with the Local Government Regulation 2012 and Local Government Act 2009. This provides Local Government entities with the assurance that suppliers have been vetted and meet requirements based on a comprehensive tender, evaluation and approval process. In addition, purchasers do not need to complete a Request for Tender (RFT) separately before engaging your services.

A prequalified panel manages the procurement compliance process on behalf of all Government agencies. This produces shortened procurement timeframes and streamlines interactions between business and Local Government.

Of benefit, QLD and SA Local Government can therefore purchase solar powered lights through Local Buy contracts, eliminating the need to go to tender or obtain multiple quotes.
