Logan Council is transitioning from TenderLink to VendorPanel

We are transitioning to a new tendering and expression of interest portal: VendorPanel.

This transition will take effect from Monday 13 January 2025. We will no longer be advertising Expressions Of Interest or Tenders through TenderLink, these will now be advertised through VendorPanel; a trusted platform known for enhancing procurement efficiency and transparency. All suppliers are required to register on the VendorPanel platform to ensure uninterrupted engagement with us.

If you participate in Local Buy Arrangements or already have a profile in VendorPanel you won't need to create a new profile.

What is VendorPanel and how does it work?

VendorPanel is used by thousands of public and private sector buyers across Australia to engage suppliers in compliant and efficient RFQ and Tender processes.

VendorPanel provides a free online procurement platform designed to connect suppliers with Council. It provides a centralised portal for managing supplier’s information. When Council advertises procurement opportunities, registered suppliers may be notified through the platform. Suppliers can then review the tender details, submit quotes or proposals directly through the portal, and track the status of their submissions. Creating an efficient and transparent procurement process for both Council and suppliers.

Register by setting up a supplier profile
