Register your interest as a Supplier

Council has joined VendorPanel Marketplace, an online procurement system that assists councils to source goods and services. This tool helps Council staff to search lists of registered suppliers; and request and obtain quotes for specific Council goods and services.

VendorPanel Marketplace also helps businesses/suppliers to maximise their chances of securing work with Council by being part of this process.

To take advantage of the opportunities that VendorPanel Marketplace presents, suppliers/businesses must be registered so that Council staff can invite them to quote. Council purchasing staff will then have immediate access to a wide range of suppliers/businesses to approach for quotations on upcoming work and, where relevant, local businesses will then be more visible to Council staff.

Find out more and register with VendorPanel Marketplace.

Businesses/suppliers are encouraged to register in more than one category if relevant to the goods and/or services they provide

​What if a business/supplier is an existing business/supplier on an established arrangement on VendorPanel, does that business/supplier still need to register?

Yes. The VendorPanel Marketplace is different to being an existing business/supplier on an established arrangement on VendorPanel.

The VendorPanel Marketplace will be used for quotations sought from businesses/suppliers where goods and/or services are not able to be sourced from an established arrangement.

 Cl​​ause 8.1 and 8.2 of the Service Provider Agreement state that a fee may be charged; however Council states that registration is free. Will a fee be charged?

There is no charge to suppliers who register to the Marketplace environment and no ongoing fees to suppliers who register to Marketplace.

Clauses 8.1 and 8.2 provide VendorPanel Pty Ltd the right to charge suppliers if additional functionality is built into Marketplace in the future. Prior to suppliers gaining access to any additional functionality, suppliers will be advised if a fee is applicable.​
