Local businesses can partner with Ipswich City Council to help deliver the next five years of community projects for Queensland’s fastest growing city.
Ipswich Mayor Teresa Harding said tenders are open for council’s Municipal Works Prequalified Supplier Panels for 2026–2031.
“Council is committed to developing competitive and thriving local businesses and industries, and works to ensure local businesses and industry are given every opportunity to compete for council’s business,” Mayor Harding said.
“We encourage qualified and licensed businesses from Ipswich and beyond to put their names forward to join the Municipal Works Prequalified Supplier Panels.
“Contractors on a range of Panels will be pre-approved to apply to deliver a wide range of municipal works and services as our city continues to grow over the next five years.
“This streamlines the procurement process and gives businesses opportunities to partner with council in the delivery of local projects benefitting our communities.
“The development and inclusion of competitive local business and industry is a priority across the entire procurement process, from the planning stage to supplier selection and evaluation.”
Prequalified supplier panels for landscaping, earthworks, pipe relining and pipe works are still to be released.
Finance and Governance Committee Chair Councillor Paul Tully said businesses can be considered for Panels categorised as being eligible to deliver projects worth up to $250,000 or up to $750,000.
“Applicants for the Municipal Works Prequalified Supplier Panels will be assessed against a range of factors including capability, experience, value and safety,” Cr Tully said.
“Across the previous five-year period, approved local contractors delivered more than $6 million worth of projects annually, so we encourage Ipswich businesses to apply.”
