Celebrating excellence in procurement

Congratulations to all the winners at the CIPS Australia & New Zealand Excellence in Procurement & Supply Awards 2025!

We are especially proud to celebrate our valued partners Queensland Procurement at the Department of Housing and Public Works, who were awarded Best Use of Digital Technology at this year’s event CIPS ANZ Excellence Awards.

This well-earned recognition highlights the success of the Queensland Procurement Solution - a result of the long-standing partnership between Queensland Government Procurement and Local Buy.

The award-winning initiative, together with Local Buy’s own Technology Program (2023 CIPS award winner), represents a significant digital transformation across Queensland. This collaboration has delivered a common procurement technology platform that is streamlining procurement processes and empowering capability across State Government entities and Queensland Councils.

The Queensland Procurement Solution is more than just a platform—it’s a state-wide digital uplift and a powerful enabler for smarter, more efficient procurement. Its success is a testament to visionary leadership, strategic collaboration, and the dedication of procurement professionals working across both tiers of government.

We’re proud to have played a role in delivering such meaningful impact through technology and partnership—and we commend everyone involved for their contribution to this outstanding achievement.

Well done to all involved!
