How to access Tenders, Quotes and EOI’s
To access open tenders, quotations and EOI’s, register your business with Tenderlink and Prescribed Bodies.
To get access to these procurement portals register via the following links.
How we purchase
Council's procurement uses Quotation, Tender and EOI’s processes.
For purchases with an estimated expenditure between $25,000 and $227,000 (ex GST) Council requires a minimum of three written quotes. These quotes are obtained from existing and new suppliers.
For purchases above $227,000 (ex-GST) a tender process is followed. Tendering details are advertised publicly unless it is a pre-qualified panel of suppliers. In this scenario, a selective tendering process is adopted.
Council also may carry out a public EOI (Expression of Interest) to shortlist suppliers. The EOI would be followed with a selective tender process.
Suppliers may also be selected from pre-qualified panels on Prescribed Bodies.
Where to find Tenders and EOI’s
Tenders are advertised on the Tenderlink Portal and on Council's website.
