How to buy

You can buy from this agreement using direct award and further competition. You can also use an Expression of Interest (EOI). This allows your organisation to go to suppliers with your needs to gauge their interest. You do not need to invite any suppliers to main tender who do not respond or decline their interest.

Direct award catalogue listings are available on the Government eMarketplace.

Sign up to the government eMarketplace.

There are two options of how to run your further competition:

  • run an Expression of Interest (EOI) followed by a further competition to those suppliers who have responded as interested in the opportunity
  • run a further competition to all suppliers

Before going out to the suppliers on the agreement we recommend that you take part in pre-market engagement.
