Tenders and Contracts

Council issues a number of Requests for Tender (RFT’s), Expressions of Interest (EOI’s) and Requests for Quotation (RFQ’s) each year.

All respondents to an RFT, RFQ or EOI are required to comply with the requirements of Council's Code of Conduct and Statement of Business Ethics(PDF, 299KB).

Requests for Tender and Expressions of Interest

Council typically calls for tenders or expressions of interest when the anticipated value of procurement exceeds $227,000 plus GST. RFT’s and EOI’s are issued through Council’s E-Tendering System (TenderLink). All EOI’s and open RFT’s are advertised on this website.

Frequently asked Questions

What is a Request for Tender or Expression of Interest?

A Request for Tendering is the formal process for the procurement of goods and services. Council is required by the Local Government Act 1993 (NSW) and the Local Government (General) Regulation 2005 (NSW) to invite tenders for contracts that involve an estimated expenditure or receipt of an amount of $250,000 or greater (including GST).

Council may also choose to invite tenders where there is no legislative requirement to do so. Generally, we do this if:

  • tendering seems the most appropriate mechanism due to the complexity or nature of the items or service.
  • consolidation of items or services would be warranted.
  • Council has limited experience in a particular field for arranging for a service or item, or
  • we want to obtain a pool of potential providers.

Council may call for expressions of interest where there is no legislative requirement to invite tenders when we have less specific requirements and wish to consider a range of solution options that may be proposed by suppliers.

Where do I find Council Request for Tenders, Request for Quotations and Expression of Interests?

Council’s open public Request for Tender, Request for Quotations or Expressions of Interest are advertised on Council’s Tender and Contracts webpage and the City of Ryde TenderLink webpage.

How do I register my interest to become a supplier to Council?

Companies can register to received notification of Request for Tender, Request for Quotations or Expressions of Interest by clicking on the registration link on the City of Ryde TenderLink webpage.

Can I submit an Alternative Response?

A respondent can submit an alternative tender, however an alternative tender can only be included in the evaluation process if a conforming tender has also been submitted. The alternative tender must be submitted prior to the closing date of the request for tender.

Can I lobby Councillors and staff?

Any Respondents who improperly solicits support for its Tenders/Quotation/Expression of Interests or otherwise seeks to improperly influence the outcome of the process, including by:

  • offering any inducement, fee or reward to any member or officer of Council or to any Council’s Associate;
  • canvassing any member or officer of Council or to any Council’s Associate; or
  • contacting any member or officer of Council about the Tenders/Quotation/Expression of Interests or any process relating thereto, except as authorised by this Tenders/Quotation/Expression of Interests, including for the purposes of discussing the possible transfer to the employment of the Tenderer of such member or officer, may, in Council’s absolute discretion, be disqualified from any further involvement in the RFT process.

Is there an opportunity to negotiate the contract if I am awarded the tender?

After the offer has been accepted, there is no opportunity to negotiate the contract. Alternatives or variations to the terms of the tender must be submitted in full as part of your tender submission. However, if submitting alternatives or variations to the tender, you must ensure that you also submit a conforming tender.
