We’re thrilled to share that Securitribe has been officially approved to join the Local Buy LB308 panel. This pivotal accreditation means Queensland, Northern Territory and Tasmanian councils can now engage our full suite of cybersecurity and ICT services through a streamlined procurement process. No more lengthy tenders or uncertainty around vendors – just clear, compliant access to expert security support.
Joining LB308 underscores Local Buy’s rigorous vendor vetting: they only include suppliers who meet strict standards around capability, reliability and value. For councils, that translates into confidence that engaging Securitribe under LB308 delivers quality outcomes at competitive, pre-negotiated rates.
What Is Local Buy LB308?
Local Buy is the Queensland Government’s preferred procurement partner, designed to simplify buying for councils across multiple jurisdictions. LB308 specifically covers ICT Solutions, Products, Services & New Technologies – everything from network infrastructure and software licences to specialised cybersecurity advisory.
By securing LB308 accreditation, Securitribe joins a select group of suppliers vetted for technical expertise, financial stability and service excellence. Councils tapping into LB308 benefit from collective purchasing power, standardised contract terms and a reduced administrative burden.
Why This Matters for Councils
Councils face increasing demands to protect citizen data, maintain uptime and comply with evolving standards. LB308 removes barriers to engaging trusted ICT and cybersecurity partners: orders can be placed without a full tender, speeding up delivery of critical projects.
Beyond speed, LB308 guarantees that panel members maintain ongoing compliance and performance obligations. Councils gain transparency on pricing, service levels and risk management, ensuring procurement isn’t just faster but also safer and more cost‑effective.
