Simple terms explainer:
Councils must plan and report on their procurement activity. This includes preparing and publishing a procurement strategy that sets out how regulated procurements will be carried out, including considerations for sustainability, community benefits, and fair work practices.

These requirements promote transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement in procurement governance.
