Become a Preferred Supplier

WALGA’s Preferred Supplier Program (PSP) is developed through Requests For Tender (RFT). To be invited to a Tender process WALGA is directed and guided by the demand of its Members.

An endorsement from a Local Government is required to be invited into the next Request to prequalify on the Preferred Supplier Program.

Local Government endorsements can be sent through to: commercial@walga.asn.au.   

Our RFT processes to onboard new suppliers occurs twice a year in February and August. Where there is a relevant category of supply and a Member endorsement suppliers will receive an invitation to Tender.

Please continue to engage with WA Local Governments as it is not mandatory for Local Governments to use WALGA Preferred Supply, we are one of many procurement options they can access. If a Council goes to public tender, these are usually advertised in the West Australian on a Wednesday and Saturday.

Please note the February 2024 RFT process is underway. To be included in the August RFT endorsements must be received by 9th August 2024.

The Member Conditions of Contract that relate to the supply of Fleet are available on eQuotes under the ‘List Documents’. The default General Conditions that apply to the Panel are the WALGA Conditions for the Supply of Goods and Services. 
 
In some cases, suppliers have provided a variation to this standard Contract, or agreed on alternative terms.  In these instances, the alternative models are bound into the WALGA Procurement Form at prequalification level and can be accessed on the suppliers eQuotes profile.
 
When contracting for all transactions under the WALGA Fleet Panel, a Procurement Form should be executed where there are contract specifics (e.g., delivery dates, inclusion of scope and offer, variation to terms etc). 

PSP006 Fleet (Trucks)
 
Previously WALGA has operated its Fleet activity under a National Purchasing Network (NPN) arrangement.  The NPN is discontinuing the operation of shared contracts as the same level of value can be derived through direct based State arrangements, all of which operate under State specific regulatory frameworks.
 
As part of the NPN transition process, the Trucks category of supply has now been updated in eQuotes and the Preferred Supplier directory.
 
Under the previous contract all national dealerships were listed.  Supplier profiles are now showing only for Truck manufacturers who have a Contract with WALGA under NPN04-13 Trucks.
 
The Preferred Supplier Directory supplier profiles for each manufacturer will now only list the WA based dealers who will deliver the vehicles to Local Government. Local dealers are also listed on eQuotes under the Contracted manufacturers.
 
When requesting quotations under the WALGA Panel, truck requests are provisioned to the manufacturers as a brand selection. Dealers themselves are not listed within the category of supply as they do not have a direct contract with WALGA for the supply of trucks.  Nonetheless, the dealers still have backend relationships with the manufacturers, and do get nominated into the quotation process and resulting supply by the manufacturer.
