Under the Circular Economy (Waste Reduction and Recycling) Act 2021 (CE Act), a key function of Recycling Victoria is to support best practice procurement management by councils, Alpine Resorts Victoria (ARV) and service providers for waste, recycling or resource recovery services.
About the Strategic Procurement Framework
The Strategic Procurement Framework sets out how Recycling Victoria will develop resources and tools such as guidance, case studies and templates for the different stages of a procurement and coordinate opportunities for councils and ARV to share knowledge, insights and lessons learned.
Where appropriate, we may also provide ad-hoc support to councils and ARV, such as providing data to assist with procurement planning.
The Strategic Procurement Framework has been developed with legal and probity advice to ensure the support we provide is consistent with our role under the CE Act and does not create a conflict of interest.
Next steps
Recycling Victoria will engage with key stakeholders to help inform and prioritise the support we provide under the framework.
