Thanks to Anooska Tucker-Evans of the Sunday Mail for raising awareness for the need for us all to pay just that little bit more for milk to ensure the long term sustainability of our dairy industry in Queensland! #BuyLocal #SupportSmall

We are so blessed to work with an amazing bunch of farmers who truly love what they do here at Maleny Dairies And it definitely shows in the quality of milk we collect from the people who care and look after their animals welfare 24 Hours a day, seven days a week! So imagine my delight when one of those wonderful farmers made a comment on our recent post with the following handle…. #GoodonyaTony #Loveyourwork

We’re extremely grateful for Channel9 news covering Maleny Dairies recent disappointing news that we were once again unsuccessful with a Government Dairy tender and helping us raise awareness of the need for a more timely and streamlined procurement process to avoid unnecessary delays and costs for business! #supportsmall #makeiteasiertobuylocal

MALENY DAIRIES MISSES OUT ON METRO NORTH HEALTH AND HOSPITAL SERVICES CONTRACT AGAIN We are deeply disappointed by the outcome of our submission for the Metro North Health and Hospital Services (MNHHS) contract. We originally contacted the government in May 2023 to enquire about the current Dairy contract that was due to be renewed in February 2024. It was subsequently postponed to July 2024, and only yesterday we were notified that our submission was unsuccessful. While we understand that not securing every contract is a part of business, our main concern throughout this period has been with the procurement process and its timeline. The delays in releasing the MNHHS Request For Quote, and the extended wait for a decision, have created considerable uncertainty, affecting our ability to plan and allocate resources effectively, notwithstanding the financial investment. This drawn-out process has redirected our time and resources away from other opportunities, and we expected a more efficient approach given the government’s renewed Buy Queensland Policy. A recent report from Business Chamber Queensland reveals that 39.4% of Queensland businesses have significant concerns about government procurement, with only 4% finding it easy to engage with the government. We can certainly sympathise with them. We can only hope future government tenders will have more streamlined and timely decision making processes to avoid other SME’s suffering a similar impact. As they say, there’s no use in crying over spilt milk - at least we can rely on our loyal retailers who have been fantastic supporters of our Queensland owned brand for the past 24 years. #QueenslandDairy #SupportLocal #MalenyDairies
