South Burnett Regional Council launches local marketplace for suppliers

Felix Marketplace is for non-contracted low risk ad-hoc supply arrangements for business within the South Burnett region boundaries.

This local marketplace is in accordance with Council’s recently adopted Procurement Policy, which focuses on engaging with local suppliers wherever possible to provide or supply goods and services to Council.

Felix Marketplace is an online procurement system which allows Council officers to search, nominate and invite local suppliers to quote. Potential suppliers will receive an email notification with an invite to submit a quote. All the supplier is required to do is log in for details and then upload the quote.

If you are interested in supplying goods or services to Council, you can register your business on Council’s local marketplace on Felix for free. The marketplace intends to capture goods and services such as Catering, Stationery, Tools & Equipment, Hardware, Printing, Horticulture, Plumbing & Electrical products, Uniforms, Clothing and PPE, Accommodation, Training Providers, Spare Parts, Florists & Giftware, Information Technology hardware and many others.

A full list of the local marketplace categories and registration instructions are available on Council’s website.

Felix Marketplace is a great opportunity for local business owners to have their goods and services seen by a new audience. The registration process does not mean that you are automatically a preferred supplier to Council. Should you be engaged for goods or services you may be required to provide additional documentation.

This procurement system is only available for businesses within the South Burnett region boundaries.
