Maranoa Regional Council – Procurement Policy

3.20 Publishing of contractual arrangements

To promote transparency and accountability and consistent with section 237 of the Local Government Regulation 2012, Council will publish details of awarded contractual arrangements valued at or above $200,000 (excl. GST) on its website within 30 days of contract execution. Published information will include the contract number, successful supplier, contract value, and the purpose of the contract.

For the purposes of determining the contractual arrangements to be published the following criteria are generally applied:

• The contractual arrangement is over a term of two years or less.

• Where the individual contracts are for similar services or goods, the contractual arrangement is to be published when the cumulative value has either exceeded or likely to exceed $200,000 over two continuous years.

Contractual arrangements include arrangements such as direct market approaches, preferred Supplier arrangements, Register of Pre-qualified Suppliers, and Tenders.

To demonstrate compliance to S237 of the Local Government Regulation 2012 and S3.20 of the Procurement Policy, Maranoa Regional Council will publish cumulative expenditure data for suppliers where total spend exceeds $200,000 over the preceding 12-month period.

This information is derived from invoice data and reflects actual expenditure. As such, the figures represent total value of invoices paid within the reporting period.

This data represents 1/07/2025 to 30/06/2026.
