Joint procurement facilitation service
Find out how councils can access expertise, information and guidance to jointly plan, negotiate and contract for waste services.
The joint procurement facilitation service supports councils to jointly procure waste services ensuring that ratepayers have access to value for money waste services and the move to a circular economy is supported.
This voluntary service delivers on a NSW Government commitment under the Waste and Sustainable Materials Strategy Stage 1 Plan: 2021-27.
The Joint Procurement Facilitation service can help with:
- Funded support to help councils access advice and assistance when exploring and undertaking the joint procurement of waste services. Up to $500,000 worth of advice and assistance is available per project across 2 streams of funding. Funding can be used to access specialist’ advice, such as waste experts, legal and probity advisors.
- Tailored waste procurement training targeted at local councils
- A resources page, with guidance materials to equip councils and regional waste coordinators with tools to help navigate waste procurement. Resources include templates for different stages of the procurement process.
- A series of case studies to demonstrate examples of waste service joint procurement projects focusing on planning, governance, challenges, lessons learnt and benefits.
