Review of tendering regulations

In response to recommendations by the Audit Office, OLG has undertaken a review of the tendering provisions of the Local Government (General) Regulation 2005 to identify possible amendments that would support councils to make better use of technology when tendering and to achieve greater efficiencies.

OLG has issued a discussion paper to consult with councils and others on the proposed amendments. The discussion paper is available below. OLG is inviting submissions from councils and other stakeholders on the discussion paper.

Submissions can be made via the online webform Discussion Paper – Tendering Provisions LG Regulation – Online Submission Form. Submissions may also be made in writing or by using the submission form template below. Written submissions may be made to olg@olg.nsw.gov.au, marked to the attention of the Council Governance Team and labelled “tendering regulation review”.
