Quotes and tenders

Council buys goods, works and services using an invitation to supply. Invitations to supply may be through:

  • invitation to tenders
  • request for proposals
  • expression of interest
  • requests for quote
  • selection from an internal Council pane
  • selection from external panels such as Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV), Procurement Australia, Victorian state registers and purchase contracts

Current opportunities

Council uses VendorPanel, an online procurement platform, to invite suppliers to submit tenders, quotes and other purchasing requirements.

To view details of current tenders and get notified about future opportunities, you must register as a supplier in VendorPanel.
