A resolution to add these suppliers to the current Specialised Supplier list will allow Council to engage
with these specialised suppliers in a more timely manner than if inviting quotes or tenders.
Previous Council Consideration
Ordinary Meeting Minutes, 21 October 2021, Item 5, Page 11
That Council note the report by the Procurement & Contracts Advisor to the Services & Organisation
Committee Meeting dated 12 October 2021 and
A.    Adopt the Sole Supplier list provided at Attachment 1 to the report for the next twelve (12)
      months; and
B.    Adopt the Specialised Supplier list provided at 2 to the report for the next twelve (12) months.
Finance
Historically, Council has budgeted approximately $50,000 (excl. GST) per annum to these services.
Risks & Opportunities
Due to low unemployment and a ‘raging war for talent’, the traditional sources of candidates (e.g.
Job Boards) are not providing as many suitable job seekers. As such, there is real risk to Council
associated with not broadening the talent pipeline via the addition of these specialised suppliers for
the engagement of the quality candidates in a timely manner.
Due to the unprecedented ‘war for talent’, additional budget may require consideration to ensure
Council’s ability to attract suitable talent.
