How to find local government tenders

1. How To Find Local Government Tenders Whilst the federal and individual state governments advertise tender opportunities via a centralised system, there is no requirement for local councils to do the same. This means that finding local government tenders is not always a simple process. However, there are a range of excellent resources available that can assist with this search, saving you time and energy along the way. Certain local governments submit tender advertisements to their state government portals, so it is a good idea to monitor these websites alongside Bidsmith’s open tender search portal. The application process The type of information that you need to include in your response to a local council tender opportunity is much the same as any other type of proposal. This includes: Your ABN Company profile and capability statement The price for the product or service you will be providing A proposed schedule GST and other taxes Applicable insurances Intellectual property rights (where relevant). Beyond these details, local governments are often looking to partner with businesses who have a pre-existing relationship with the community, as tender projects provide an excellent opportunity to support local business.
