Tenders and Quotations

Mount Alexander Shire Council procures approximately $20 million of goods and services per year. The majority of purchases are made with local and regional suppliers. This page is designed to assist businesses to supply goods and services to local government.

Council uses Tendersearch, an online tool to enable us to request quotes and tenders from suppliers for the provision of goods, services and works.

Tendersearch provides a simple, secure and efficient means for businesses to be notified of current opportunities and submit quotes or tender documentation.

To view current tenders or stay abreast of future opportunities register at our e-tender portal.

The system will allow you to:
• view current, closed and awarded tenders
• download tender documents free of charge
• receive addendums
• submit your tender electronically.

Please contact TenderSearch on 1800 836 337 if you experience any difficulties logging on or downloading documents. Please direct all tender questions through the online Question Forum once you have logged in.

Trying to understand how to successfully become a supplier for local government can be daunting. There are many rules and regulations, and understanding why and how decisions are made is important.

The Doing Business with Local Government Guide has been designed to encourage potential suppliers to form profitable, long term partnerships with councils. For existing suppliers, this guide should also help to understand Local Government processes.

For more information read our procurement policy and terms and conditions of the purchase of goods and services.

Please note the canvassing of Councillors and/or Council Officers in relation to any tender or quotation will cause the submitter to be disqualified.
