Local buy

We are proud to have preferred supplier status for asset management consultancy services to Queensland local government. This means that Queensland’s local councils can appoint us directly to undertake valuation and asset management services, without the need for formal quotation and tender processes.

In Queensland, the valuation of local government assets using the Fair Value basis is a specific scope of work covered by Local Buy Contract “Asset Management Consultancy” (BUS 157-0807).

Only a small number of engineering and consultancy firms succeeded in meeting the stringent criteria required to earn preferred supplier status for this contract – with APV being the only "registered valuers" firm to satisfy all criteria.

APV’s Local Buy contract includes:

• valuation and depreciation for financial reporting purposes
• valuation and depreciation methodologies
• developing asset management frameworks and systems
• implementing asset management systems
• diagnostic assessment of asset management maturity
• developing asset management plans (financial and condition modelling).
