Supplier Categories
The eQuotes systen has two internal Supplier Categories and the Marketplace:
Tender established prequalified Panels
Panels established by a tender process will be the main method of sourcing goods and services that are frequently required and cumulatively add up to a high value. A Supplier will only be able join these panels via the tender process. Panels will have compliance prequalification requirements specific to the Panel.
Supplier Lists established by self invitation
There are the method through which the City will seek goods and services from Suppliers for frequently required goods and services, which cumulatively are of a lower value and for which there is a benefit to have prequalified compliance requirements. The Supplier Lists are City determined supplier categories that group goods and services into relevant categories. Supplier Lists will have compliance prequalification requirements specific to that List.
The Marketplace
This is the final method through which the City shall seek goods and services. The Marketplace has no prequalification requirements and is utilised only for goods and services that do not have an established Panel or Supplier List.
