❗HAVE YOUR SAY ON A NEW PLAN TO SUPPORT HARVEY REGION BUSINESSES ❗ 🔹What’s the issue? We find contractors by going through a tender process. During this process, businesses receive scores based on a number of factors, including price. Metropolitan businesses are often able to offer better prices to perform work. This is because metropolitan businesses have access to larger economic networks and are typically closer to resources. As such, local businesses may be less competitive when they are being evaluated. 🔹What are you doing about it? We have developed a Regional Price Preference Policy that will give local businesses a 10 per cent discount when price is scored during tender evaluation. South West businesses that border the Shire will receive a 5 per cent discount. If a local business wins a contract - we’ll still pay full price for their services. This just helps local businesses remain competitive during tender assessment. 🔹What can the community do? Council wants public feedback before the Policy is formally adopted. Submissions close at 4pm, Friday 29 November. To read the Policy (don't worry, it's only 3 pages!) and have your say, visit https://lnkd.in/gSVNWze4
