Tenders and Public Quotations

Understanding the Procurement Process

Procurement is the process of buying goods, services and works. This can include a range of things from roads, footpaths, recreational and community facilities, trees to heavy vehicles, office equipment, professional services and more.



Groote Archipelago Regional Council (GARC) applies innovative procurement principles to its procurement activities. The procurement principles are set out in GARC’s Procurement Policy.
