Previously WALGA has operated its Fleet activity under a National Purchasing Network (NPN) arrangement.  The NPN is discontinuing the operation of shared contracts as the same level of value can be derived through direct based State arrangements, all of which operate under State specific regulatory frameworks.

 

As part of the NPN transition process, the Trucks category of supply has now been updated in eQuotes and the Preferred Supplier directory .

 

Under the previous contract all national dealerships were listed.  Supplier profiles are now showing only for Truck manufacturers who have a Contract with WALGA under NPN04-13 Trucks.

 

The Preferred Supplier Directory supplier profiles for each manufacturer will now only list the WA based dealers who will deliver the vehicles to Local Government. Local dealers are also listed on eQuotes under the Contracted manufacturers.

 

When requesting quotations under the WALGA Panel, truck requests are provisioned to the manufacturers as a brand selection. Dealers themselves are not listed within the category of supply as they do not have a direct contract with WALGA for the supply of trucks.  Nonetheless, the dealers still have backend relationships with the manufacturers, and do get nominated into the quotation process and resulting supply by the manufacturer.
