PWD strengthens Local Government access with WALGA Preferred Supplier status

PWD Digital Agency (PWD) has been officially approved as a preferred supplier under the Western Australian Local Government Association (WALGA) Preferred Supplier Program (PSP).

PWD specialises in delivering quality websites via a thorough strategy process and execution by some of Perth’s best website designers, developers and marketing professionals. This accreditation comes as another notch in PWD’s belt after receiving both ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 accreditations for Quality and Information Security Management in 2023.

The ISO accreditations are PWD’s competitive advantage, as the accrediting bodies acknowledge PWD’s processes and quality assurance for website builds as well as security measures online, a dual ISO accreditation that no other agency in WA holds.

Becoming a WALGA preferred supplier means PWD’s services have been rigorously pre-qualified, providing councils across WA with streamlined access to trusted digital solutions. Local governments can now engage PWD directly through WALGA’s PSP framework, bypassing lengthy tender processes and ensuring procurement is fully compliant with established terms and conditions.

What the WALGA Preferred Supplier Program means:
• Pre-qualification: WALGA assesses and approves suppliers through a comprehensive vetting process.
• Streamlined procurement: Councils can engage pre-approved suppliers directly via WALGA’s platform, saving significant time and resources.
• Assured quality and compliance: All contracts are negotiated by WALGA, ensuring suppliers meet quality, regulatory, and value-for-money standards.

For PWD, this accreditation provides increased access to opportunities within the local government sector, while councils benefit from PWD’s proven expertise in web design and development, maintenance and IT support, and enterprise grade hosting.

Oliver Wood, Managing Director at PWD, said: “Being recognised as a WALGA preferred supplier is a significant milestone for our team. It reinforces our long-standing commitment to delivering high-quality, compliant and innovative digital services that support local government operations. Councils across Western Australia can now engage us with confidence, knowing procurement is faster, simpler, and backed by WALGA’s trusted process.”

With over 5,000 websites delivered since 2007 for ASX-listed companies, not-for-profits, and government organisations, amongst trades, mining and other professional services, PWD brings extensive experience to the WALGA panel.

PWD does not only build websites, but executes goal driven marketing strategies for clients. The next step for PWD will be to bridge the gap in the PSP and undergo the process to add digital marketing capabilities to the WALGA panel as well.
