About this tender
Overview Penrith City Council is calling for responses from tenderers to provide a range of hardware supplies.

If responding to a category, tenderers are to provide pricing for all items in that category. Due to the Christmas shut down period and the requirement for this tender to report to Council prior to award, the Council is aiming to bring this tender to the March 2026 Council meeting, and asks for patience following the tender closing while a thorough review is conducted. Clarifications may be sent out during the review process, so tenderers should keep an eye out for any messages requesting clarification through Vendorpanel. Contract Terms and Conditions Initial contract period of three (3) years Option for Council to extend by a further two (2) x one (1) year extension options
How to respond to this tender
A strong tender response is clear, compliant, and backed by evidence. These steps apply to most Australian and New Zealand public tenders.
Read the requirements in full
Open the official listing and download the full tender pack. Note the response schedules, evaluation criteria, mandatory conditions, and the exact closing time and lodgement method.
Confirm you are eligible and it is worth bidding
Check licences, insurances, certifications, and any conformance requirements before you commit. A quick bid or no-bid decision saves days of wasted effort on a tender you cannot win.
Answer every criterion with evidence
Respond to each evaluation criterion directly and back your claims with concrete examples, referees, and past performance. Address the buyer’s stated need, not a generic capability statement.
Lodge early through the official portal
Submit through the source portal well before the deadline. Late or incorrectly lodged bids are almost always rejected, so leave time for uploads, portal errors, and last-minute questions.
