Attachments       1.   Attachment 1 - Sole Supplier List

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The procurement of all Council’s goods and services must be carried out in accordance with the
Local Government Act 2009 (Act) and the Local Government Regulation 2012 (Regulation).

Specifically, the Regulation outlines the Local Government default contracting procedures, for
entering contracts via written quotes or tenders.

The Regulation includes exceptions to these procedures under certain circumstances such as the
engagement of a supplier without first inviting written quotes or tenders where they are approved as
a sole or specialised supplier.

This report seeks to amend both the Sole Supplier List and the Specialised Supplier List to continue
to support Council’s current and future procurement requirements.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council:
   A. Note the report by the Strategic Procurement & Contracts Advisor to the General Committee
      Meeting dated 6 October 2026;
   B. Note the administrative process undertaken to establish and maintain the Sole and
      Specialised Supplier Lists;
   C. Adopt the Sole Supplier List provided at Attachment 1 of the report for the next twelve (12)
      months; and
   D. Adopt the Specialised Supplier List provided at Attachment 2 of the report for the next twelve
      (12) months.


REPORT
The Local Government Regulation 2012 (Regulation) governs how a Local Government enters
contracts for Goods and Services through inviting written quotes or tenders. In addition, the
Regulation outlines a range of 'exceptions' for a Local Government to enter contracts without first
inviting written quotes or tenders.
