Resources for suppliers

Resources to help with tendering and business development.

Contract opportunities

New contract opportunities that are out in the market with the Council can be viewed on the New Zealand Government Electronic Tenders Service (GETS).

Tendering training

We are creating a tendering training guide for suppliers who want to better understand how we procure, and improve their tendering skills when submitting for opportunities. This training is being developed and will be released in late 2024.

Support resources

We need quality suppliers to partner with to deliver for our community. The following external resources are a combination of free and paid tools available that you can use to help support tendering with us, and your wider business development journey:

Note: Wellington City Council has developed this list as a starting point, and should not be regarded as a preference list nor the only resources available. Individuals and businesses should ensure the resources used are relevant for them, and we encourage wider research beyond these resources. We cannot guarantee these links are up to date.
