Panel

Where Council establishes panel arrangements with a select group of Contractors. Typically, a tender is undertaken to select a group of Contractors or Providers which can provide identified goods, services or works and have the capability to meet the Council’s needs, for inclusion on a panel.

Once a panel has been established, Council may purchase through such panel arrangements, including directly from any of the Contractors or Providers on the panel, without the need to obtain quotes or seek tenders.
