Supplier Directory opens the gate for small, local businesses

28 Jan 2023

Mt Arthur Coal required two mine spec 4 X 4 hire vehicles on site for a medium-term hire. Previously, there has been no opportunity for Mt Arthur Coal to source hire vehicles locally through the Local Buying Program (LBP) portal. Sergate Fleet Hire, a newly registered supplier, was sourced for the work. This small local business has demonstrated capacity and long-standing capability with 15 years of experience in vehicle hire – specialising in commercial mine spec vehicles.

The Local Buying Program facilitated a local procurement solution for site, with the supplier being awarded two medium-term vehicle hires and site gaining local access to a much-needed service. The BHP Buyer utilised the online Supplier Directory to investigate the capability of local businesses. The supplier provided excellent information in their Business Summary and Capability Statement, including the relevant detail for the buyer to evaluate.

The Local Buying Program enables BHP Mt Arthur Coal to connect with small, local and Indigenous businesses. The engagement contributes to the sustainability of local businesses, promotes growth opportunities and continues to build on the goodwill between site and local business community.

“As a family-owned and operated Hunter-based business, we are passionate about providing a quality service to our local community”,  Shannon Milgate–Owner Operator, SergateFleet Hire.
