How it works

Agencies invite relevant panel suppliers to submit a quote for fit-out transactions in excess of $100,000 through a Request for Quote (RFQ) process. You can then select a supplier who provides the best public value to complete that fit-out transaction.

If you want to purchase like-for-like replacements or extra furniture related to a fit-out transaction, you can purchase them from the supplier who managed the fit-out.

All other small-scale transactions, or commodity furniture purchases, can be done through your chosen commodity furniture supplier. After signing up, you can select a preferred commodity furniture supplier by filling out a form which we can send to you.

Features and benefits

  • The panel offers a range of suppliers to choose from.
  • We manage the on-going performance of the panel suppliers, including relationship management.
  • On-going reporting is available to agencies.
  • Ability to create your own online catalogue.
  • Broader outcomes initiatives including waste and emissions reduction and repurposing.
