Quotations, Expressions of Interest and Tenders

Council may seek goods and services through quotations, expressions of interest (EOIs) and tenders, depending on the nature, complexity and value of the procurement. 

The Process 

  • Responses are sought
  • Submissions will be evaluated with a view to establishing a short list of potential respondents 
  • A panel of Council officers will interview short-listed respondents to ascertain suitability 
  • The evaluation process will initially include consideration of the respondent's responses to the requirements and evaluation criteria outlined in the procurement documentation.
  • Council will then nominate the preferred respondent 
  • Note: Council has also adopted a Code of Conduct with the aim of ensuring that its functions are undertaken efficiently, impartially and with integrity.
