LOCAL
PROCUREMENT
What
is your view about the desirability of local procurement and to what extent and
in what cases should it be encouraged by Council?
Simply, we should always attempt to buy
locally in the first instance, as that should support the local economy. TRC
has a moral responsibility to help stimulate local business, but not at the expense
of the non-business owning residents. Once again, it is about transparent
dealings that support the common good of all residents. Clearly, we need to develop purchasing policy
that is transparent, but gives local businesses a competitive edge in a tender
process.
