Create the free Supplier Portal profile. Set useful categories and real contacts. Use QTenders, eTender and the forward pipeline separately.
Qualify once. Prove it on every Queensland bid.
The portal finds the opportunity. The Supplier Code, assurance evidence, prequalification, licences, systems, cashflow and measurable public value make the entity contract-ready.
Queensland-ready in eight moves
Build the evidence before the warranty.
The Supplier Code applies across Queensland Government procurement regardless of value. Treat Code compliance as an operating system, not a box to tick at submission.
Self-assess
Check the 2026 Supplier Code across legal compliance, ethics, workplace practices, human rights, environment, conflicts and supply chains.
Retain proof
The Procurement Assurance Model can test the evidence. Keep registers, policies, records and corrective actions current.
Check the scheme
Building, maintenance, civil, road, bridge, asphalt and specialist work may need PQC, QBuild, TMR or National Prequalification before the bid.
Price the contract
Model labour, materials, travel, mobilisation, reporting, insurance, retention, security, delays and payment timing.
Offer public value
Answer the outcomes in the tender with specific people, suppliers, dollars, dates and measures. Do not paste generic social-value claims.
Flow it down
Prime contractors put Code obligations and measurable purposeful-procurement commitments into subcontracts and monitor them.
Control delivery
Track licences, insurance, WHS, quality, environment, records, complaints, payment and subcontractor performance through the contract.
State trigger table.
The live invitation and contract always control. These rules tell you what to check early.
| Trigger | What it changes | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Any Queensland Government procurement | Supplier Code warranty and continuing compliance. | Run the Code self-assessment. |
| Queensland Government contract from 1 January 2026 | Procurement Assurance Model evidence and possible investigation. | Build the assurance file. |
| Significant procurement | A purposeful-procurement criterion normally carries 10–20% total weighting; the agency threshold cannot be below $500,000 GST inclusive. | Commit to measurable outcomes. |
| Direct government building contract over $1 million | PQC contractor prequalification normally applies. | Check category, level and financial capacity. |
| Building consultancy over $60,000 or smaller high-risk commission | PQC consultant prequalification may apply. | Check the PQC system. |
| Non-residential building at $50 million or more | National Prequalification System replaces the ordinary Queensland contractor route. | Confirm the required class before choosing the prime. |
| Road, bridge, asphalt or specialist transport package | TMR registration or National Prequalification class may apply. | Open TMR Volume 3. |
| QBuild minor works or maintenance | QBuild registration, category, licence and insurance requirements apply. | Use the QBuild route. |
Queensland source layer.
QTenders and eTender are only part of the story. Supplier registration, policy language and forward schedules also matter.
Gumpi is the preparation case.
The $41 million ferry terminal upgrade is still in planning. Map likely marine, civil, building, landscape, data and community-benefit packages now. Build the prequalified prime relationships before the procurement release.
