Vendorpanel • What is it?
Why do Councils use Vendorpanel for LGP contracts • It gives them complete confidence if they are asked as to how you chose their supplier. • A full record is kept of the process on VP which can be downloaded to their Records system. • It’s an easy way for them to get their EOI’s or quotes - from their desktop.
How do I get to do business with Councils? • Respond to tenders – both those put out by LGP and by individual Councils. • We are looking to engage Panels. • So are Councils • Join the LGP portal on Tenderlink.
Our tenders • All LGP tenders are advertised through two daily metropolitan newspapers (SMH & Daily Telegraph) and via LGP's website and e-tendering portal. • To ensure that your company does not miss out on future tenders from LGP, go to www.tenderlink.com/lgp/
