As the local government procurement partner, we know that our buyers in Queensland councils need more support and better access to suppliers. And local suppliers need more work – now more than ever! Knowing this, we have invested heavily in technology, processes and resources to open Arrangements every quarter.
This initiative allows us to open our tenders every three months to invite more local suppliers to become pre-qualified. This initiative is an Australian first, possibly globally first, advancement in procurement. Not only does it give local businesses more opportunity, but it helps councils get their work done quickly.
This initiative allows us to open our tenders every three months in:
February
opening on the 1st and closing on the 28th
May
opening on the 1st and closing on the 31st
August
opening on the 1st and closing on the 31st
November
opening on the 1st and closing on the 30th
PLEASE NOTE: If you are an existing supplier, you are NOT required to re-apply each time tenders open unless you would like to be appointed to a new Arrangement, or a new category within an Arrangement to which you are already appointed.
