Cutting Through Procurement Red Tape

May 12, 2025

Why DCS + Local Buy Is a Compliant, Smarter Way Forward

If you’ve ever been caught up in procurement red tape, you’ll know the feeling—long timelines, complex tenders, and delays that stall the very improvements you’re trying to make.

But what if there was a way to skip the line to fast-track access to trusted, experienced consultants without compromising compliance?

That’s where Local Buy steps in. And it’s exactly why Dynamic Corporate Solutions (DCS) is proud to be a prequalified Local Buy supplier under LB309 – Business Management and Consulting Services.

🧭 What Is Local Buy?

Local Buy is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ), established to assist councils and eligible buyers with compliant, efficient procurement.

Under Section 234 of the Local Government Regulation 2012 (Qld), councils must undertake a public tender process for medium- to large-sized contracts (over $15,000 and $200,000 respectively). However, there’s a legislative exemption:

Section 234(f) specifically states that councils are not required to invite quotes or tenders if the contract is entered into under a Local Buy arrangement.

In other words, Local Buy arrangements are already considered publicly tendered, eliminating the need for councils to run their own RFQ or RFT.

This makes Local Buy a powerful tool for buyers seeking speed, compliance, and assurance.
