Working together with the full support and involvement of council staff, BOPLASS provides benefit to councils and their stakeholders through improved levels of service, reduced costs, improved efficiencies and/or increased value through innovation.

This is achieved primarily through:

Joint Procurement: Being the collective procurement of services or products by two or more councils from an external provider regardless of whether the service is paid for through BOPLASS or individually by participating councils.
Shared Services: Being the participation of two or more councils in the provision of a common service which may be jointly or severally hosted.
