Procurement and Tenders

-
ensure all contractor employees working on-site are fully inducted

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I register my interest to supply to GPC?
The Supply department is happy to receive company profiles from suppliers, however we generally prefer to issue tenders or request for quotations as the work is defined. This allows for changes in the particular market sector. Expressions of Interest are advertised from time to time via Q-Tender and the local newspaper.
What do I need to have in place before coming on-site?
Prior to commencing work on any GPC site, a valid contract must be in place.
What are your standard payment terms?
Our standard terms are 30 days from the end of the month an invoice is received. The invoice must state the order number (or contract number), an accurate description of the goods or services supplied, reference to delivery dockets and dates of supply, accurate prices as detailed in the order or contract, and a contact name in case of errors or omissions.
Can I lodge my tender after the closing date?
No. Late tenders will not be accepted. If a tender package is delayed on route and would have arrived prior to the closing date and the delay can be verified by another source (other than the tenderer) it may be accepted. Tenders received after the closing date will be returned.
