If you are interested in working with us, you need to understand how we engage with the market and select firms to be awarded contracts.
Register your business on Tenders WA and sign up for alerts to be kept up to date on current and upcoming work opportunities.
Generally, we openly advertise all tenders valued at over $250,000 on Tenders WA but there will be times where it is not deemed appropriate to do so.
Before approaching the market we will consider if there are any panels (see below) or registered Aboriginal businesses that can deliver the work being procured. If there aren’t, we will seek to engage a supplier to complete the work using one of the following typical methods subject to the associated risks:
- direct purchasing for requests up to $5,000 (or $50,000 in some circumstances)
- verbal quotes for requests up to $20,000
- written quotes for requests up to $250,000 open tender for requests above $250,000 (advertised on Tenders WA)
The open tender process may be a single or two-stage tender process. Our tender process in non-residential building projects and procurement policies pages have more information.
