Supplier engagement and procurement policies
The City engages with suppliers to acquire a diverse range of goods and services, which can be obtained through direct purchase, quotation, and tender processes. The City may also engage suppliers via WALGA preferred supplier panels and State Government Common Use Arrangements.
All purchases are completed in accordance with the relevant legislation, the City’s Purchasing Policy, Statement of Business Ethics and associated internal policies (see below).
Quotations and purchasing process
The City obtains quotations for purchases between $5,000 and $250,000. Purchases below $5,000 are obtained via direct purchase.
The City uses VendorPanel to simplify the way it sends and receives quotations to and from suppliers.
