Procurement
We are committed to transparent, ethical procurement that prioritises local businesses, sustainability, and Indigenous community involvement
Overview
Our framework for procurement emphasises transparent, ethical practices that support local economic, social, and environmental goals. It provides clear guidelines to ensure value for money, foster competitive local industry, and promote Indigenous business engagement, all in line with legislative requirements.
Our internal processes ensure that each tender and quotation submitted by potential suppliers is given fair and equitable consideration.

VendorPanel provides Council with improved purchasing governance and transparency as well as making it easy for suppliers to download Council requests and upload responses.
Registration is free, takes only a few moments to complete and as an added bonus your business profile will be visible to external companies as well as Torres Strait Island Regional Council.
Register as a supplier in three easy steps:
- Go to: VendorPanel
- Search and select the most appropriate category for your business.

Once registered, as projects arise, your business will receive an email inviting you to submit an offer.
Assistance with registering and logging into VendorPanel can be found here.
If you do not have access to a computer, Council has computers available for residents to use at the divisional offices.
Council does not open tenders publicly, but Council may be required to make documentation and information contained in, or provided in connection with, a tender publicly available, where that documentation or information is required to be disclosed pursuant to a provision of the Local Government Act 2009 or the Local Government Regulation 2012.
