Preferred suppliers registrations have closed
Registrations of interest to become a preferred supplier of trades or services for Rotorua Lakes Council have now closed.
Council received 170 registrations across a broad range of suppliers.
Thank you to all those who registered.
The council reviews its preferred suppliers panel every three years, inviting registrations from interested local trades and services providers and suppliers who would like to be a go-to provider for the organisation. Registrations were open for six weeks and an information session was hosted by council staff to assist interested parties.
Council uses a wide range of services, from trades and supplies to consultancy services. Those who register and are deemed to have the best overall offering are appointed as preferred suppliers. This provides council with a pool of specialist suppliers to call on when there is a need over and above the council’s existing in-house capability or capacity.
Council staff will now evaluate the submissions received and those who registered will be informed whether they have been successful or not.
Due to the number of submissions this process is expected to take four to six weeks.
