The Council has a number of preferred supply arrangements. In most cases, these are selected through open invitation to tender as a part of the process.

Pre-qualified Technical Consultants

The Council uses a technical consultancy register to source consultants for new engagements valued under $100,000. The register includes specialists such as engineers, architects and project managers. We ask for pre-qualification applications around June of each year.
