Can Council please confirm whether respondents must currently be appointed suppliers under Local Buy Contract LB320, or whether an independent supplier may tender using compliant vehicles or plant sourced from an authorised dealer? Also, the Response Schedule – Goods and Services document attached to VP525989 appears to be empty (0 MB). Could Council please provide a working copy?

Regarding BSC 26/27–T21, can Council please confirm whether the requirement for an ‘OEM approved GVM of greater than 4,200 kg’ may be satisfied by a new vehicle fitted with a federally approved Second Stage Manufacturer GVM upgrade prior to first registration?
