Purchase Orders and Conditions of Order

Purchase Orders and Conditions of Order

Back

At the end of the procurement process, Council will issue a Purchase Order to the successful supplier(s). Purchase Orders request that a supplier provides goods, service or works stated in the Purchase Order. After providing the goods, services or works, the supplier sends an invoice to Council. Council checks that the goods, services or works have been delivered, checks the Purchase Order against the invoice and then pays the invoice.

For low value off the shelf type items, Council may choose not to use a formal contract. The Conditions of Order/Quotations document, is the contact terms and conditions for that procurement.

Where a formal contact has been signed by the supplier and Council, a Purchase Order will still be issued by Council after the contract has been signed.
