Seqwater has a number of purchasing arrangements (panels) for the provision of certain products or services. These purchasing arrangements are formal agreements established with suppliers on agreed commercial terms.   Seqwater periodically goes to market to establish these arrangements. Current Seqwater arrangements include:

• Cleaning Services
• Security Services
• Office Stationary
• Water Treatment Chemicals
• Mowing, Slashing and Grounds Maintenance
• Uniform supply
• Works and Services
• Monitoring Control Systems
• Planning and Design Services

Seqwater also uses purchasing arrangements under the Whole of Government panel arrangements or set up by Local Buy Pty Ltd, a Local Government Association of Queensland procurement services company.

TENDERS

Open tender opportunities (including for purchasing arrangements) are advertised on QTenders. 

The supply of goods and/or services deemed as ‘significant’ to Seqwater are managed by Commercial Services through a competitive tender process.

To view available or upcoming tenders, you may register as a supplier on the QTENDERS and/or LGTENDERBOX websites, and select to receive alerts for new government opportunities.

All contractors, consultants and suppliers of goods and/or services that operate within our industry are encouraged to tender.

QUOTES

For the supply of goods and services classified as low risk and low value, Seqwater may seek quotations from suitable suppliers. This can be via a formal Request for Quote, verbally or by email. If successful, suppliers will be set up as a registered supplier.

PLEASE DO NOT COLD CALL OR EMAIL US.

If you are interested in subcontracting please refer to the Seqwater Contract Disclosure Report to directly contact those suppliers that have contracted with us.

PROCUREMENT DECISION MATRIX

The Seqwater Procurement Decision Matrix below is used to define the number of quotes required for purchases that are not under an existing arrangement, such as a panel.

Seqwater has standard purchasing terms and conditions which apply when a contractor or supplier has been engaged to provide goods and/or services. 

The contract templates provided below are provided solely as an example of the purchase order and contract terms which Seqwater may propose to enter into with a supplier if a supplier’s offer is accepted. 

The templates should be used for a proposed supplier’s reference only to enable them to make an initial assessment of willingness and ability to comply with the Seqwater standard contractual terms. 

Seqwater reserves its rights to make further changes to the terms of these contracts prior to entering into any formal contract with a supplier.  These contracts are not intended to be legally binding on any party without first being completed by Seqwater and signed by all parties. 

Below are examples of Seqwater standard default Purchase Order and Contract templates.
