The Commission attempts to acquire goods and services by soliciting bids on VendorPanel or tenders on LG Tenderbox. The board purchases a variety of goods, services and contracts in various fields, including building materials, vehicles, roads, trails, factories and equipment, office furniture and equipment, recreational and community facilities, professional services, utilities and more. Links to these platforms are available on the Supplier Portal on the Commission`s website. This video explains what you need to know about doing business with us, including the legal requirements under which advice must operate, how the board purchases goods and services, and what you need to do to register as a potential supplier or contractor.

Collaboration between the real estate and rating and ICT teams allowed them to accelerate the creation of a fully automated online process with integration between multiple systems. By leveraging OpenForms, now from Granicus, the ICT team simplified the customer experience by integrating across multiple systems, including MBRC`s financial systems and the external social security and payment services system operated by Australian agency Centrelink. Because ICT was able to configure a large part of the customer journey without coding, the entire solution was built, tested and deployed in less than a week. The Commission`s procurement of goods and services is subject to various statutes, regulations, policies and guidelines.

The streamlined process eliminated the need to manually answer thousands of phone calls, physically review and process requests using Centrelink, and respond carefully to customers.

The council will primarily award bids and bids valued at $50,000 or less to local businesses. If local businesses cannot deliver, do not have the capacity or do not offer good value for money, contracts may be awarded to non-local companies.
