Dear Valued Suppliers

Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) invites tenders from suppliers for the supply of quarry materials.

Therefore, the purpose of this Register of Pre-Qualified Suppliers (ROPS) is to form a panel of suppliers with the ability to readily supply materials without calling individual quotations for each occasion of supply as described in more detail in the Tender Package.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this mining & metals opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
