Redland Council flags more than $100,000 in procurement demand for 2026 - 27

Redland City Council has flagged procurement opportunities worth more than $100,000 for the 2026 - 27 financial year, giving suppliers advance notice of the goods and services it expects to bring to market.

The Annual Contracting Plan sets out proposed sourcing strategies and indicative timeframes. It also identifies contracts considered significant after assessing their relative cost and the difficulty of securing supply.

The plan covers procurement across Council operations, including work involving the Procurement and Contracts Group, Project Delivery Group and Waste Operations. Listed procurements have approved budget allocations for 2026 - 27.

For multi-year agreements, in-principle funding for the second year of the capital portfolio has been endorsed, with estimated operating costs included in the long-term financial forecast.

Purchases below $100,000 are generally handled through existing arrangements or direct procurement. They are not itemised because business areas often have not defined those requirements early in the financial year.

The plan is intended to give businesses time to prepare for upcoming tenders, allocate resources and plan responses. It also supports Council’s strategic contracting procedures, which are designed to influence bulk purchasing, precinct planning and longer-term social and sustainability outcomes.

Council will publish the plan on its website and notify suppliers of the opportunities it lists, including tender timeframes. It can be amended before the end of the financial year, so schedules may change.

The available information does not identify individual projects, contract values or successful suppliers.
