Council is currently seeking community feedback on the Draft Procurement Policy 2021-2025. This draft policy applies to all contracting and procurement activities at the Council and provides direction on the conduct of procurement activities throughout the sourcing, management and disposal phases. It also covers the general procurement framework. Council must comply with this Procurement Policy (once finalised) before entering into a contract for the purchase of goods or services or the carrying out of works.

You can check out a copy of the draft Policy here or copies are available for inspection on Council’s website in hard copy from Council’s Customer Service Centre at 111 Brown Street Hamilton.

Southern Grampians Shire Council has made the in-principle decision at its Council Meeting on Wednesday 10 November 2021 to transition the provision of aged and disability services to a new provider.

Council will work closely with the Commonwealth via an Expression of Interest to find a suitable provider that can deliver these services which include home care, personal care and meals on wheels, to the high standard we expect for our community.

A determination on Councils ongoing role will be made in March next year at the conclusion of the EOI process.

Council will host a number of drop-in information sessions from 18 November 2021 on the Mobile Library across all townships where impacted clients and families are invited to hear more information about the process.
