Doing Business with Council Information Sessions
Do you own or manage a local business and want to know how to apply for tenders with council? Join us for two information sessions on Wednesday, 22 June 2022.
We’d like to work with more local businesses
It is council’s responsibility to facilitate a situation where local businesses are applying for and securing contracts with council. Council regularly advertise invitations for tender across a range of industries including construction, commercial cleaning, technology, water, and more. Our aim is to make doing business with council more accessible and attractive to our local business community.
