Become a supplier with Council

VendorPanel supplier registration

We encourage all local businesses wishing to supply goods or services to Council to register with VendorPanel.

This allows suppliers to respond to requests for quotes from other local councils and state government entities.

Become a prequalified supplier with Council 

We have a prequalified contractor register for commonly used trades and services.

• Prequalification is a process where suppliers of particular goods and/or services are assessed against a pre-determined criteria.
• Only suppliers who meet these requirements are approved and added to the register.
• Once on the register, prequalified contractors may be invited to quote for works or services valued under $250,000 (ex GST).
• Being prequalified makes it easier for businesses to access work opportunities, as long as compliance requirements are met and maintained.

The current requirements include:

• Established Work Health and Safety systems that meet Safe Work NSW standards.
• Workers compensation insurance policy that covers all employees working on Council assets. Or if a sole trader, income protection (to cover wage loss for at least 104wks) and accident protection (to cover medical treatment).
• Public liability insurance minimum of $20 million.
• Adhere to Standard PPE Requirements for Contractors working on behalf of Council.
• Adhere to Contractor Information Sheet - CCC is a smoke, alcohol and other drug free workplace.
• Acknowledgement of WHS Responsibility, Authority & Accountability Statement.
• Current trade specific licences and/or qualifications.

Once approved, Council will request the business to register with VendorPanel.

Respond to quotation requests issued via VendorPanel 

To assist the evaluation process and help support your submission, please ensure your application is provided in the requested format and that you supply as much relevant material to address the criteria as possible.

Respond to tenders and expressions of interest issued via Tenderlink

For purchases valued at more than $250,000 (excluding GST), Council must invite public tenders (unless exempt under Section 55 of the Local Government Act 1993).

• Evaluation: Tenders are assessed against the criteria outlined in the tender documents. Make sure your submission follows the requested format and provides enough detail to address each criterion.
• Contract terms: Contracts may be awarded for a set period and may require security.
• Expressions of interest: Council may first advertise an Expression of Interest (EOI) in newspapers and on its tender portal(s).
• Lodging your tender: Submissions must be lodged before the closing date and time. Please be wary uploads can take time, so allow plenty of time to submit. Only tenders fully uploaded before the deadline will be accepted.
