Lachlan Shire Council has established an e-Tendering website (Tenderlink) to provide Council suppliers easy access to a range of tendering services associated with Council's tendering program. Register your details and establish profiles to automatically receive information on Requests for Tender (RFT), Expressions of Interest (EOI) and Requests for Quotation (RFQ) as they become available.

Tender documents can be obtained by downloading through Lachlan Shire Council’s e-Tendering website

Council does not accept submissions via email. Options for lodgement of tenders are: 

No. It is not permitted and may result in disqualification from the tender process.

All individuals and organisations lodging tenders with Council for provision of materials, equipment or services must have an Australian Business Number (ABN), and must be registered for goods and services tax. All submissions must clearly state the submitter’s ABN.

You can apply for an ABN online.

Yes you must try to answer every question. Some questions are marked mandatory.  If you do not answer those questions your tender will automatically be considered non-compliant.

There is no opportunity to negotiate the contract after the tender has been accepted. If you wish to offer alternative terms they must be submitted in full as part of your tender. These may not be accepted.

Council will base procurement decisions on a principle of “value for money” rather than “lowest costs”. The organisation will also give preference to, and purchase, environmentally performing products that are cost competitive, and organisations that operate in an environmentally responsible manner.
