Doing business with Council
Scenic Rim Regional Council undertakes significant procurement activities, all of which are conducted in accordance with the requirements of Section 104 of the Local Government Act 2009, the Local Government Regulation 2012, the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and Council's Procurement Policy.
All Council suppliers are required to be verified through Eftsure to do business with Council. This verification process has been implemented by Council as it supports Australian businesses to safeguard payments from fraud and error by matching ABN and business names with a bank account and BSB numbers. This process is streamlined and all new suppliers with Council will be supported by a relevant officer throughout the process.
The following further information is provided:
- Council's Purchasing Terms and Conditions;
- Invoices submitted to Council for payment Fact Sheet; and
- Get verified by Eftsure Fact Sheet.

- Value for money
- Open and effective competition
- Development of competitive local business and industry

| Tender Number | VP415850 |
| Tender Name | Construction of Hinchcliffe Bridge |
| Overview |
Scenic Rim Regional Council (“Council” or “Principal”) is seeking Tenders in response to this Request for Tender (“RFT”). The Tenders sought are for the construction of a new concrete bridge on Hinchcliffe Drive "Hinchcliffe Bridge" as well as associated civil works. Works for this bridge have been approved for funding under the Bridges Renewal Programme (BRP) by the Australian Government and are jointly funded with Scenic Rim Regional Council. The proposed bridge is being constructed off alignment with the existing timber bridge to remain in place as a side track for the duration of the works. This is the only access for the adjacent community. Pedestrian and vehicle access will need to be maintained at all times. In addition, the existing bridge has both vital water and sewer mains attached to it. These services are required to remain in operation at all times. The sewer will remain on the existing bridge and planned to be operational until it is rerouted at a later date. Care must be taken to ensure no damage and minimal disruption occurs. As part of this Tender, water main works are included as provisional (optional) items. These are described in the tender documents. |

VendorPanel Marketplace
Scenic Rim Regional Council has further streamlined its internal quotation process to utilise an online request for quotation (RFQ) portal where local suppliers will either form part of an established panel arrangement (through Local Buy Vendor Panel) or will self-register their business through an online portal called Vendor Panel Marketplace.
Where there is no preferred supplier list or agreement in place, VendorPanel Marketplace is utilised to source quotations from registered suppliers where the quote value is less than $200,000. Marketplace is an "open market" online system and free for suppliers to register, receive notifications and submit quotes for services or goods that they offer. At the heart of this solution, Council is trying to make it easier to engage with local suppliers and the open market, giving small to medium enterprises better access to Council opportunities and increase governance and transparency in our quotation process.
Please visit VendorPanel Marketplace to register your business on the Marketplace portal under the services or goods that you wish to provide.
Safety induction for service providers
Contractors and service providers are required to complete Council's Online Safety Induction.
