Tenders and Contracts

Under the Local Government (Functions and General) Regulations 1996, Part 4, Division 2, Regulation 11, the City is required to undertake a public tender if the consideration under the contract is, or is expected to be, more than $250,000 (GST exc) over the contract term unless a legislated exemption exists and is to be utilised.

The below information is released in order to better demonstrate to the market what, when, and how the City is expecting to undertake these public tenders, and other legislated exemption methods of procurement, in order to meet the City’s needs.

This information is not expected to encompass all of the City’s requirements, with any requirement under $250,000 being undertaken in line with the requirements of the City’s Procurement Policy, with a relevant number of quotations sought.

The City of Kwinana is offering suppliers interested in quoting for goods and services the opportunity to add themselves to a suppliers list. The list may be used as the basis for determining which suppliers are invited to quote for certain goods and services.

Quotations are by invitation only as opposed to Tenders, which are advertised publicly, unless they are the result of an Expression of Interest process. This register will allow City Officers quick access to suppliers who have registered their interest to work with the City.

If you'd like to register for forthcoming quotations, please fill out the Registration of Interest Form below.

Completion of the form does not make you a preferred supplier to the City of Kwinana.

Public Tenders are advertised on the City’s website on this page.

The City also advertises all Public Tenders on Public Notice Boards and in the West Australian newspaper on either a Wednesday or Saturday.

The Tender documents are available for download via Tenderlink.

No. While we support local participation in line with our Procurement Policy, our procurement processes are open and competitive. We assess all bids fairly, with consideration given to all factors (both weighted and non weighted).

Yes. In accordance with best practice procurement principles, you may request feedback to understand how your submission was assessed and how to improve future tenders.

No, it does not.

Many businesses are unsuccessful at first when they try to win a local government contract, but later go on to be successful suppliers to local government. An unsuccessful tender response is an opportunity to get feedback that will help you learn how to put in a better response next time.

Remember that you may have other opportunities to do business with the City or other local government organisations in the future. Take a positive approach to debriefing and treat it as an opportunity to continue to build your relationship with the City and/or local governments.
