Doing business with council

Council’s procurement activities are governed by the local government act and regulations and council’s procurement policy (PDF, 300KB).

Generally council will:

• seek quotes from suppliers (including from an established supplier arrangement) for contracts with a value lower than $500,000
• release public tenders for contracts with a value of $500,000 or more, or
• establish supplier arrangements where similar goods or services are regularly required. Supplier arrangements are established by way of public tender.

All procurement activities undertaken by council with a value greater than $50,000 will have pre-determined evaluation criteria and weightings. These criteria include capability and experience, methodology, social and economic factors, price are included in the Invitation document released to market.
