    LGP provides fully integrated procurement services. These services include establishing contract panels, consulting, professional development and contract management. Our customers include NSW councils, not for profit organisations, universities, state government agencies and departments.LGP is a business arm of Local Government NSW (LGNSW), the membership association for all councils in NSW. LGP is also a ‘prescribed entity’ under s55 of the Local Government Act 1993 (NSW) and the Local Government (General) Regulation 2005 (NSW). This means that councils do not need to go to tender for values greater than the tendering threshold (as they normally would be required to do) and may, instead, utilise supply arrangements coordinated by LGP.Source: This is an extract from the company's own website.

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at Local Government Procurement appreciate the nurturing and supportive culture, with training and professional development opportunities available, including mentorship and career advancement pathways. The organisation offers flexible working hours and conditions, and staff are passionate about procurement and developing long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with councils and suppliers.

    However, there are some potential challenges, such as employees needing to be proactive in identifying and pursuing professional development opportunities, as they may not be directly encouraged.

    A positive experience and organisation of which I am proud of being part of building its success.
    The good thingsLocal Government Procurement (LGP) provided me with strong career development and a number of procurement mentors. LGP has a raft of opportunities available to its staff, particularly through training and professional development. The staff are passionate about procurement, servicing the needs of councils and working with its suppliers, particularly developing in long term, mutually beneficial relationships. It is an organisation that rewards its staff with generally flexible working hours and conditions. It is not an organisation that promotes a culture of 'after work drinks', as the majority of the staff are family focused, but it is a friendly, diverse environment, with regular company-wide meetings and various company social activities throughout the year.
    The challengesAs an employee, you need to be clear with what professional development you need - you won't be tapped on the shoulder to be pushed forward. However, the opportunities are there should you wish to actively pursue them. There are a number of strong personalities in the team (of which I was one!), however they are passionate about the work they do and supporting councils.
