Non-construction goods & services
This section is for suppliers involved in supplying goods and services not related to building and construction where works are covered by the Victorian Government Purchasing Board (VGPB) policies and guidelines.
The Victorian Government procurement framework
VicRoads is transitioning to operate under the new Victorian Government procurement framework from 1 July 2015.
The VGPB mandate only applies to goods and services procurement and there will be no change to the processes for Building and Construction procurement.
The new framework is designed to support a more strategic and efficient approach.
It is underpinned by high standards of probity, accountability and flexibility with a strong focus on:
- value for money,
- more interactive engagement with the market, and
- productivity improvement.
Find out more about the procurement framework and its five supporting policies on the Victorian Government Purchasing Board website (External link).
Procurement Activity Plan
VicRoads publishes an annual Procurement Activity Plan in July to advise suppliers of proposed procurements where the estimated value is greater than $100,000 (excluding GST). The plan is updated twice a year.
Note that all VicRoads planned procurement projects are subject to revision or cancellation.
The information in the Procurement Activity Plan is provided for planning purposes only. The Plan doesn’t represent a solicitation or constitute a request for proposal, nor is it a commitment by VicRoads to purchase the described goods or services

State Purchasing Contracts
The VGPB mandates that VicRoads uses State Purchasing Contracts (SPCs) for new contracts from 1 July 2015 where a relevant SPC exists.
Details of these contracts are available on the Victorian Government Purchasing Board website (External link).
