Use of the Construction Supplier Register streamlines procurement processes delivering significant benefits for both Victorian Government departments and State agencies and pre-qualified construction works and services suppliers.
Key advantages include:
- promoting assurance and confidence for government departments and state agencies when identifying, selecting and inviting pre-qualified suppliers to tender
- downgrading, suspending and removing pre-qualified suppliers who fail to meet the Construction Supplier Register’s mandatory pre-qualification requirements
- reducing the risks of using unknown suppliers
- enhancing transparency
- driving supplier improvements
- maximising tender opportunities for pre-qualified suppliers.
As the only whole of Victorian Government pre-qualification scheme for public construction and infrastructure procurement, use of the Construction Supplier Register streamlines procurement processes by eliminating the need for Government departments and State agencies to repeatedly request and manage up-to-date information from suppliers. This allows them to focus on project-specific issues rather than duplicating the due diligence checks carried out by the Construction Supplier Register.
Using the Construction Supplier Register also provides assurance and confidence to departments and agencies when identifying, selecting, and inviting pre-qualified suppliers to tender. It reduces the risks of engaging unknown suppliers by targeting those with relevant experience and capabilities.
The Supplier Performance and Shared Reporting Regime helps drive continuous improvements in the construction and infrastructure sector. Registered departments and agencies have access to objective data on supplier quality, supporting better selection decisions and promoting value for money.
While pre-qualification does not guarantee project work for suppliers, it maximises tender opportunities for suitably qualified and experienced suppliers.
