How to become a supplier

To be a supplier for the VSBA, you need to be prequalified on the Construction Supplier Register.External Link Consultants need to be prequalified on the CSR and registered on the Technical Advisory Panel.

  • The Construction Supplier Register (CSR) is managed by the Department of Treasury and Finance. Suppliers who are prequalified on the CSR can tender for Victorian Government construction projects.

  • The VSBA has a Technical Advisory Panel (TAP). Consultants must be registered on the TAP to participate in VSBA consultant tenders. To start the TAP registration process, you must be registered on the CSR in one of the following categories:

    • Acoustic
    • Architectural
    • Building Condition Assessment
    • Building Surveying
    • Civil Engineering
    • Contamination Testing
    • Electrical Engineering
    • Energy Management
    • Geotechnical
    • Landscape Architects
    • Mechanical Engineering
    • Project Management
    • Quantity Surveying
    • Structural Engineering

    The TAP panel streamlines how we engage suppliers to provide technical advice for our school building projects.

    To apply to register on the TAP, a key contact person in your organisation should send an email to vsba.procurement@education.vic.gov.au with:

    • your company’s CSR registered name
    • your company’s CSR category(s)
    • first name
    • last name
    • email address.

    You will then receive an invitation from noreply@vendorpanel.com.au to complete your registration on the TAP portal.

    Once you’ve created your TAP account, you’ll need to provide the following qualifications and compliance documents:

    • Professional Indemnity Insurance
    • Public Liability Insurance
    • Application Form
    • Capability Statement and Rate Card
    • TAP Deed Poll Framework Agreement

    We will assess your qualifications and compliance documents progressively as we receive them. We will notify you of outcomes via the TAP portal. If we approve all documents, you will be eligible to participate in competitive tenders to provide us with technical advice.

    If you need any help in registering, please contact vsba.procurement@education.vic.gov.au
