The Construction Supplier Register is a Whole of Victorian Government pre-qualification scheme established and governed in accordance with the Ministerial Directions and Instructions for Public Construction Procurement 6.1. The Construction Supplier Register is administered by a dedicated team located within the Department of Treasury and Finance, as the Lead Department.
The team is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Construction Supplier Register, including assessing, registering and monitoring pre-qualified construction works and services suppliers. Their key activities include:

- performing project limit and category reviews
- downgrading, suspending or removing suppliers who do not meet the Construction Supplier Register’s mandatory pre-qualification requirements
- undertaking complaints investigation and reporting.
The Construction Supplier Register administers the National Prequalification System for Non-residential Buildings (NPS), for contracts greater than $50 million in Victoria, and the Residential Cladding Rectification Register streamlining the procurement of suppliers to remove/rectify combustible cladding.
Additionally, the team can provide customised services to government departments and state agencies that subscribe to use the Construction Supplier Register, such as
- establishing and maintaining pre-qualification categories
- developing and assessing alternative pre-qualification criteria
- providing tailored reports about prequalified suppliers
- assisting in the development of supplier shortlists.
The Construction Supplier Register team has in-depth knowledge about pre-qualified Victorian suppliers through the financial and technical checks performed during the Construction Supplier Register’s pre-qualification and review processes. This expertise is an important resource for government departments and state agencies working in public construction and infrastructure procurement.
