Details

The purpose of this tender is to establish an approved list of suppliers for the supply and delivery of automotive workshop supplies, tools and consumable items to maintain & repair fleet assets and operate council’s workshops. Council is seeking competitive rates and a high standard of service covering the life of the contract. Council may “refresh” the register of pre-qualified suppliers on a quarterly basis to allow suppliers to be added or removed from council’s register.

This is a fixed catalogue less discount contract. Suppliers (including trade and industrial accounts) are to provide a percentage discount off current catalogue or trade pricing.

Council reserves the right to verify pricing at any time through reasonable benchmarking, market comparison, or supplier substantiation, including catalogue pricing, trade account pricing, or cost verification where cost-plus arrangements are applied.

Council does not guarantee any minimum or maximum purchase quantities under this arrangement.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this transport & logistics 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.
