The easiest way to buy for government is to use a supplier listed in one of our existing whole-of-government standing offer arrangements (SOAs). These arrangements have been established with preferred suppliers to ensure cost-effectiveness and efficiency when buying for government.
Because these suppliers have been prequalified, you are able to contact these businesses directly for a quotation (ensure you quote the SOA number).
Before buying, you should refer to your agency’s procurement procedure as this governs the way your agency uses SOAs.
