WHAT DOES WARRINGAH SPEND?

they are well represented on various panel contracts:

WHAT ARE PANEL CONTRACTS?- Panel Contract / Period Contract / Standing Offer
- Agreement under which goods or services are
supplied at a predetermined price and terms and
conditions for a certain period on an 'as required’ basis
- Established for frequently used goods/services
- Estimated quantities may be provided however there
is no minimum commitment
- A Contract is formed when an order is placed on the
supplier

BENEFITS OF PANEL CONTRACTS?
Benefits:
- reducing the costs for Council and suppliers by having
to undertake fewer tenders
- predetermined contract terms, conditions and
performance measures apply
- Competition still maintained through seeking quotes

HOW DO WE ENGAGE SUPPLIERS?NSW Legislative Requirements

12
THE $150K THRESHOLD
- NSW Local Government Act s55 – requirements for tendering
- All contracts >$150K ($250K State Gov) require a public tender
- GST - The threshold is inclusive of GST.- Term - The value is the total over the complete term
of the contract (including options)- Accumulative total - A council cannot avoid the
requirement to invite tenders breaking the purchases into separate contracts
13
EXCEPTIONS- Contracts established by a person prescribed by the
regulations’. Prescribed organisations: NSW Procurement – Procurepoint / NSWBuyLocal Government Procurement (LGP)Procurement Australia
- Council can purchase from panels whatever the value without having to undertake a public tender process (quotes will be sought)
- LGP – Local Government Procurement. Panel contracts, tendered every 3-4 years.
