Council has significant interest in streamlining procurement through self-managed Panel Arrangements, meaning engagement with business and industry efficiently and effectively.
Apply to a Panel Arrangement
You can contact Council any time to apply to be considered as part of the Panel Arrangements.
Please email Council with a summary of your business including which panel you would be interested in applying to.
Council will send you an application to complete. Upon return, applications are assessed by Council evaluation committees and a response provided to businesses on the outcomes of their application.
Council panels are perpetual with in-takes on a quarterly basis.
Register on the Supplier Portal
Council is releasing a brand-new Supplier Portal (the Portal).
To take advantage of the opportunities that the portal presents, Suppliers must be registered.
It's entirely free for Suppliers and, once registered, Supplier can self-manage procurement processes with Council buyers in one central location.
