Principles outlining our procurement are outlined in our Procurement Policy

Tenders 

GMW issues all Advance Tender Notices, Tenders and Expression of Interests via the State Government of Victoria, Buying for Victoria e-tendering portal Tenders VIC.

The Buying for Victoria supplier portal is a free service - follow this Tenders VIC to register your interest and ensure you don’t miss an opportunity to lodge a tender with us.

Lodgement of Tenders

All responses are to be lodged via the appropriate e-tender box noted in the tender documentation, by the advertised closing date and time. You should note any special requirements stated in the tender’s annexure to conditions, and allow enough time to submit your response according to the website’s instructions.

The tender must comply with the Conditions of Tender forming part of the tender or offer documents. Compliance with the Victorian Government’s Code of Practice and Implementation Guidelines for the Building and Construction Industry is a pre-requisite to submitting any tender response for all public construction tenders. Copies of the Victorian Code and Victorian Guidelines are available at the Department of Treasury and Finance.

Please note that neither the lowest nor any tender will necessarily be accepted.
