Business resources

Local business operators are invited to a free workshop to learn how to be considered for the supply of goods or services and contracts with Council.

Council regularly seeks quotes and tenders for a range of goods and services from the provision of various trade services, through to large multi-million dollar developments.

The free workshop will guide providers through the tender and procurement process, the online TenderSearch portal, with tips on writing a successful submission.
