Want to supply to the NSW Government?
Australia's largest provider of state government tenders is NSW eTendering. Contact ISOsafe to get started today.
There are 2 main ways you can supply to NSW Government:
Contracts are usually awarded after a competitive tender process. Tenders are advertised on NSW eTendering.
Prequalification schemes provide government agencies with a list of expert resources they know have certain specialisations. They then use this list to procure the goods and services they need.
New suppliers can usually register to join a scheme at any time. This helps promote competition and provides a pool of talent.
The first step to joining a prequalification scheme is to register on the eTendering site. Once you have done this you can start your application.
Benefits of prequalification schemes provide many benefits both to government agencies and to you as the supplier of goods or services.
As buyers, agencies benefit from being able to:
· access a panel of expert resources that can deliver quality goods and services
· more efficiently run competitive tendering processes by tapping into a group of suppliers with a demonstrated track record.
As suppliers, we hope you benefit from:
· reduced red tape and lower costs in doing business with government
· simplified terms and conditions
· having access to a self-service, online application process
· being able to regularly apply to join
· being able to apply for business opportunities by regions and categories, where possible.
