LGA Procurement disclosure statement on website use and email engagement
1. Objective
LGA Procurement collects personal information that enables LGA Procurement to track usage of the website and to track engagement with email content. LGA Procurement uses the information obtained to enhance customer engagement.
2 Collection of information on web site activity
To improve the website experience, LGA Procurement uses 'cookies'. A cookie is a small text file that the site places on a user’s computer as a tool to remember preferences. The website uses Google Analytics, a service which transmits website traffic data to Google servers in the United States. Google Analytics does not identify individual users or associate an IP address with any other data held by Google. LGA Procurement uses reports provided by Google Analytics to understand website traffic and webpage usage. Logging into the SectorSaver results in the provision of personal details that enable LGA Procurement to track onsite behaviour, including what content the user views and downloads, i.e. pages, events, ctrld files, minutes, agendas and other content objects. This information is primarily used in an aggregated form to help LGA Procurement understand which content is useful to members. Social plug-in tracking cookies may also be used to track both members and non-members of social networks for additional purposes such as behavioural advertising, analytics, and market research. Although most browsers automatically accept cookies, a user can choose whether or not to accept cookies via a browser's settings. Users may also delete cookies from a device at any time. However, if cookies are not accepted the full experience of some of the features of the website will be lost.
3 Collection of information on email engagement
By subscribing to LGA Procurement e-newsletters, the user provides a unique identifier (email address) that allows LGA Procurement to track the user’s engagement with email content. LGA Procurement can identify whether an email has been opened and what links have been clicked within the email. In addition, the information can identify what email software was used to open the email, the approximate location at the time of opening, and whether the user has shared the email content by forwarding or via social media. This information is primarily used in an aggregated form to help LGA Procurement understand which content is useful to members.
4 Personal information
LGA Procurement will not use or disclose personal information about an individual for a purpose other than the primary purpose of collection, unless it is required by law. LGA Procurement is committed to ensuring that personal information is handled appropriately.
5. Copyright ownership

Content is intended for member councils in South Australia only. Member councils may download, display, print, reproduce and alter the material for internal use. LGA Procurement reserves the right to revoke such permission at any time. Read our copyright statement.
Common Questions
SectorSaver acts in the capacity of a procurement facilitator. If you have questions about how to use SectorSaver the answers might be listed below.
SectorSaver charges a transparent $250+GST per listing to publish for three months. When goods and services are purchase they are fulfilled through UniMarket and the standard percentage management fee is applied to transactions. There are no hidden fees and there is no artificial price inflation.
SectorSaver is designed to be a controlled B2G & B2B supply channel that allows councils and community sector buyers to purchase surplus, overstocked, cleared goods and services suitable for use at a significantly reduced price.
Suppliers benefit from a central platform listing the surplus, overstocked, clearance goods and services they can offer to the sector.
Buyers benefit by accessing these quality goods and services at a significantly reduced cost while meeting their governance requirements.
Yes — provided goods and services are assessed by buyers as:
- fit‑for‑purpose,
- compliant with relevant standards,
SectorSaver listings are structured to clearly show:
- compliance context,
- reason for clearance,
- specifications
This supports lawful procurement under council policies.
Yes — this is a core value and use case.
SectorSaver allows:
- controlled buyer access
- non‑public listings
- tailored disclosure
- reputationally safe transactions
LGA Procurement is a local government panel administration business. It is part of the Local Government Association of South Australia.
SectorSaver is a web application owned, managed and administrated by LGA Procurement for the benefit of LGA members and the quality suppliers that have listed on their panels.
SectorSaver listings are only available to the institutional buyers authorised access by LGA Procurement. All councils operating in South Australia are qualified to buy from SectorSaver. Other institutional buyers include, public agencies, public authorities and community-focused businesses.
SectorSaver is available to:
- Local councils
- Public agencies and statutory authorities
- Government‑owned corporations
- Various community sector buyers
All buyers are verified organisations, not individuals.
SectorSaver provides:
- documented clearance reasons
- transparent pricing context
- supplier identity and credentials
- compliance documentation availability via Unimarket
- traceable buyer–seller records
- access to LGAP panel arrangements compliant with Local Government and ICAC Acts
This creates an audit‑ready procurement trail.
No, it supports them.
SectorSaver does not replace panels. It does not override contracts. It is intended for opportunistic, supplementary purchasing. Councils should continue to follow their internal procurement rules.
Yes, where practicable.
Listings indicate:
- inspection availability
- sample availability
- site visit options
Inspection is strongly encouraged for higher‑value items.
Normal warranties apply. Buyers must ensure they retrieve warranty paperwork directly from the supplier during a transaction. SectorSaver does not keep copies and cannot retrieve them for you. A listing may detail an alteration to a warranty status, such as ex‑fleet or ex‑demo assets. Listings will clearly state any change to warranty conditions.
Each listing includes:
- a stated price
- explanation of why the item or service is being cleared
- references the market price or replacement pricing, or
- explanation of savings without compromising suitability
This supports internal approvals and audits.
Yes. SectorSaver utilises the existing processes embedded within the Unimarket platform. To proceed with a procurement a purchase request or purchase order with the listing code is processed on Unimarket.
Normal council approval processes apply.
A common approval pathway for works related goods and services is as follows:
- Works / Infrastructure Manager
- Asset Manager
- Procurement
- Finance
Listings are designed to be easily reviewed across all roles.
SectorSaver is available to all existing LGAP approved suppliers:
- manufacturers and wholesalers
- civil and infrastructure contractors
- fleet owners and hire companies
- liquidators and insolvency practitioners
- organisations holding surplus operational assets
Suppliers must comply with their existing Approved Supplier Agreement arrangements and meet our terms of use for qualified listings.
SectorSaver is suitable for all existing LGAP panel offerings:
- civil and infrastructure materials
- plant, fleet and equipment, including spec-compliant second hand stock
- parks and streetscape assets
- building and depot maintenance stock
- operational consumables
- new product launches, with early bird options
- new equipment activations
- endlines or discontinued stock
- peak and off-peak pre-bookings
- geo-targeted packages
- talent activations
Consumer goods and distressed retail stock are excluded.
Both methods are useful.
You might benefit from listing on SectorSaver before using an auction to see if you can attract a fair value quickly. If you've been trying to auction without success you might try listing with SectorSaver, and vice versa. Both are valid channels for disposing of surplus or clearing goods.
SectorSaver can potentially achieve:
- a faster time to realisation
- be cheaper to use than an auction
- offer reduced holding and storage costs
- a chance to secure a fair price
- allow local and community buyers to benefit
- support documented pricing justifications
- find legitimate institutional buyers
- achieve a result defensible to creditors
SectorSaver does not negate the value of auctions, it just provides an additional channel.
No. SectorSaver facilitates transactions only.
Assets remain with the supplier to dispatch and asset ownership is transferred to the buyer just as with an normal transaction.
Risk transfer terms are:
- aligned with standard commercial sale conditions
- as contained in the LGAP Approved Supplier Agreement, unless negotiated between the parties
Yes — this is a core value and use case.
SectorSaver allows:
- controlled buyer access
- non‑public listings
- tailored disclosure
- reputationally safe transactions
