• Effective management of the end-to-end procurement lifecycle.

All procurement activities undertaken by or on behalf of Council are required to comply with Council's Procurement Policy.

Prequalified Contractor Register

Council has established a Prequalified Contractor Register which includes businesses and individuals who have been assessed as meeting minimum requirements and criteria for the provision of services.

To be included on the register, contractors are required to complete the Prequalified Contractor Application Form and forward to Council along with the mandatory supporting documentation.

Once an application has been assessed, successful applicants will be added to the register and notified of any next steps required.

Please note that inclusion in Council's Prequalified Contractor Register does not commit, obligate or otherwise create a legal obligation on the City of Mount Gambier to purchase the services from or contract work to the contractor.

Please don’t hesitate to contact a member of the Procurement Team for assistance.
