Council may amend the Contracting Plan at any time before the end of the financial year to which the schedule relates.

Strategic Contracting Procedures
On 20 November 2019 Council published a notice about adopting the ‘Strategic Contracting Procedures’ (SCP) under Chapter 6 Part 2 of the Local Government Regulation 2012. At Council’s General Meeting on 29 January 2020 Council resolved to apply the SCP from 01 July 2020 to Council contracts. Please refer to the Council Minutes for the complete resolution.
The spending of Council funds for goods, services and work is regulated by the Local Government Act 2009 (LGA) and Local Government Regulation 2012 (LGR) under procedures described as the ‘Default Contracting Procedures’ (DCP) and the ‘Strategic Contracting Procedures’ (SCP). The DCP is the framework by which Council currently conducts procurement and contracting. This framework provides a prescribed method for conducting procurement and contracting for every Council in Queensland, regardless of size, complexity, strategy or consideration of the risk profile of the individual Council. The DCP is a default framework aligned principally to individual contracting processes and transactions. Council has used the DCP to their maximum capability, however, the prescriptive nature is no longer the most advantageous mechanism for a Council intent on a more dynamic and strategic approach to contracting.
Council has instigated a Procurement Transformation Program that recommends a transition from using the current DCP to using the SCP to strengthen internal efficiencies, external savings and long term sustainability to deliver the Corporate Plan’s (2018-2023) quadruple bottom line. The transition is proposed to start from approximately 1 July 2020 and is aligned to Council’s integrated planning framework and budget prioritisation. The transition is part of the Procurement Transformation Program identified and reported quarterly in Council’s 2019/20 Operational Plan.
The key elements of the SCP were reviewed in 2017 by the Queensland Government Inquiry into Local Government Procurement. The Inquiry acknowledged the SCP as a flexible framework for tendering and contracting for the supply of goods and services and also for the disposal of assets, whilst managing risks and probity. The SCP governance framework will be supported by an amended version of the current Procurement Policy, Contract Manual, Contract Plan and where applicable significant contract plans. The transition is overseen by a Procurement Steering Committee, reported quarterly as part of the Operational Plan whilst noting procurement activities are audited by the Audit Committee. The governance framework will be updated as part of the transition involving three key phases:
Phase 1: Public Notice regarding the proposed SCP resolution to occur at the Council General Meeting on 29 January 2020.
Phase 2: Resolution to implement the SCP as part of the 2020/21 Budget from 1 July 2020.
Phase 3: Review the SCP as part of the ongoing 2020/21 Operational Plan.

Strategic Contracting Objectives
The Strategic Contracting Objectives document the strategic environmental, social, economic and governance contracting objectives that will be developed and implemented over the financial year and beyond to support the implementation of Council's procurement and contract management activities in accordance with the sound contracting principles under s104 of the Local Government Act 2009 (Qld) and directly contributing to the Council's current Corporate Plan.
