Each year, Council spends funds on a wide variety of works, goods and services. Council will ensure that it obtains value for money for our community through a strategic and cost effective approach.

Council ensures that public funds are spent in a way that is fair and transparent.

The procurement approach for these projects varies in method, relative to the risk, complexity and value of the project. Guidance on the procurement method is contained within Council's Procurement Policy.

SA Tenders

The State Government’s Tenders and Contracts site is commonly utilised for public tendering for major purchases of goods, services and works. The SA Tenders and Contracts website is a site used for many public procurement activities in South Australia, which provides the facility to download tender documents (such as conditions of tender, draft conditions of contact, project specification/briefs, relevant policies and return schedules) and lodge electronic tender submissions.

Registration with SA Tenders and Contracts is required to receive notification of upcoming public tenders. The SA Tenders and Contracts website has a useful Frequently Asked Questions section that may assist to provide any information you may require about their site.
