Understand the purchasing process with Tauranga City Council, before tendering or starting work.
Standard terms of purchase
Our terms and conditions to the purchase order for products or services contain the default terms and conditions, which apply to all purchases unless otherwise agreed on a contract or within the purchase and contract order.
Purchase orders
Before starting any work with us you will be issued a purchase order as a record of the agreed purchase.
Key things to note:
- Supply of products, services or works cannot start without a purchase order.
- Valid purchase order numbers are ten digits long and have a 45 prefix.
- When invoicing us the purchase order number must be present on all invoices for payment to be made. If you have not received your purchase order number please contact the person that you have been working with from the Council to request one.
