How to access Tenders, Quotes and EOI’s

How we purchase
Council carry out procurement using Quotation, Tender and EOI’s processes.
For purchases with an estimated expenditure between $10,000 and $127,000 (ex GST) Council requires a minimum of three written quotes. These quotes are obtained from existing and new suppliers.
For purchases above $127,000 (ex-GST) a tender process is followed where 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, which 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. Suppliers must register on the Tenderlink Portal (link below) to view Tenders and EOI’s.
