We are part of a supply chain. To deliver our services to the community, we too must purchase other goods and services.
Because it is public money we spend, our purchasing and procurement practices are stringent. We are required by law to ensure this.
We are committed to comply with our statutory requirements under the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (NSW).
We have a strong culture of wanting to purchase goods locally. This is to strengthen our local economy. However, we must have fair and reasonable procedures for doing so.
Businesses wanting to provide their services to us must first understand our procurement practices. The information in this section explains the pathways for how you might secure work with us.
Our Procurement Policy(PDF, 174KB) and Statement of Business Ethics(PDF, 86KB) states our position when doing business. We are committed to comply with our legislative requirement under the Local Government Act 1993 , Local Government (General) Regulation 2021 , Modern Slavery Act 2018 and Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009. Our Statement of Business Ethics sets the framework for our commercial and ethical commitments when we purchase and spend public money.
We are committed to ensure that doing business with us is ethical across our entire supply line. Should you become aware, or suspect on reasonable grounds, that there is harm being caused in our supply line of procurement as defined under the Modern Slavery Act 2018, we encourage you to report your concerns to us at council@blacktown.nsw.gov.au - attention - Manager Procurement and Governance.
