The information in the Procurement Activity Plan is provided for planning purposes only. It does not present a solicitation or constitute a request for proposal. Nor is it a commitment by the Government to purchase the described goods or services.
There is no obligation to respond to or return any unsolicited bids received.
Supplier Portal
The department operates the DE Oracle Supplier Portal to support our procurement activities and those of partner bodies within the Education portfolio.
On the Supplier Portal, you can:
- Access and submit responses to many of our Requests for Quote (RFQs, also referred to as ‘negotiations’).
- Manage your organisation’s details and user setup.
For more information and assistance, visit the Supplier Portal page.
Conditions of Participation
If you're an organisation responding to a procurement event issued through the department's Supplier Portal you may need to accept our Conditions of Participation ('the conditions'). This may include procurements issued by other education portfolio agencies through the department's system.
All events to which these conditions apply will include notice to this effect and a link to the conditions.
Procurement complaint management framework
The 'Procurement Complaint Management Framework' provides you with surety that there's a mechanism in place to raise concerns about a particular procurement activity. Complaints will be handled in a consistent, fair, and transparent manner.
