Tauranga City Council will only be accepting electronic RFX submissions from our contractors and suppliers from 3 October 2017 from our new portal www.tenderlink.com/tauranga. Please note this will not be live until 28 September 2017.
This will mean that for all RFX’s issued after this date, Tauranga City Council will accept digital submissions through Tauranga City Council's new Tenderlink portal. If you are submitting a response to an RFX that has been posted before this date then please note the current TCC process will apply.
Please note that from this date, Tauranga City Council will no longer advertise directly on the GETS website.
If you are already registered with LG Tenders you will automatically be registered on our new portal. For everyone who is not, it is free to register, however you can only register when the portal goes live on 28 September 2017.
So what does this mean for our suppliers and contractors?
- No more hard/paper copies of RFX submission
- No more physical delivery requirements
- Submission can be made online from anywhere in the world
- The new Tauranga City Council portal is free for everyone
Tauranga City Council are happy to help or assist with any questions you may have. Please contact us at procurement.tcc@tauranga.govt.nz.
Please also note our Supplier Guide for electronic submissions. This will be available on our website from the launch date.
