Supplier Code of Conduct

Council is committed to engaging contractors, consultants and suppliers who conduct business in a safe, responsible and equitable manner and in compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. To support this commitment, Council has developed a Supplier Code of Conduct(PDF, 136KB) which all suppliers must comply with. 

Purchase Orders

Purchase orders are legally binding documents that authorise suppliers to provide goods or services. Contractors and suppliers should not supply any goods or services without first receiving a purchase order, which must comply with the Purchase order terms and conditions(PDF, 59KB).

Procurement Policy

This policy clearly sets out the requirements to be met by all staff, Councillors and temporary employees when procuring and/or contracting goods and services on behalf of Council. Contractors should familiarise themselves with the Procurement Policy(PDF, 339KB).

Payment Verification Process - Eftsure

To ensure accurate and timely payment, Council requires all suppliers to verify their bank account details with Eftsure. Eftsure is a third-party payment verification system. Suppliers will receive an automated email from Eftsure requesting they verify their bank account details.
