NOOSA SHIRE COUNCIL SOLE AND SPECIALISED SUPPLIER LISTS · Report

SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING                                           7 OCTOBER 2025


   A local government may enter into a medium-sized contractual arrangement or large-sized
   contractual arrangement without first inviting written quotes or tenders if—
       (a) the local government resolves it is satisfied that there is only 1 supplier who is reasonably
       available; or
       (b) the local government resolves that, because of the specialised or confidential nature of the
       services that are sought, it would be impractical or disadvantageous for the local government
       to invite quotes or tenders.

As such, Council reviews the sole and specialised lists annually to ensure their appropriateness and
currency and subsequently seeks Council resolution to adopt the revised/amended lists.

A resolution to adopt the lists will allow Council to engage with these suppliers in a more timely
manner than if inviting quotes or tenders.
