Supplier Satisfaction survey

To help the State Government and DELWP better understand your experience of the procurement process and identify areas for improvement, we would greatly appreciate your feedback on the procurement process via a short online survey.

The survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete.

The survey is being conducted by ORIMA Research, an independent social research company, on behalf of the Victorian Government Purchasing Board (VGPB). ORIMA Research will treat all your responses, comments and information as strictly confidential. No individual or supplier will be able to be identified from the research results.

Supplier Satisfaction survey

DELWP requests for tenders and expressions of interest for contracts are available from the Victorian Tenders website. Other state government department tenders are also advertised at this site.

DELWP is committed to minimising the environmental impact of the goods and services purchased to meet DELWP requirements. DELWP aims to meet this commitment by:

• Purchasing goods and services that have reduced impacts on the environment, compared with competing goods and services that achieve the same function and value for money outcomes
• Defining environmental procurement priorities based on assessment of environmental risks and their ability to influence environmental outcomes
• Considering environmental impact when defining specifications for goods and services
• Assessing the potential environmental impact of entering into a commercial engagement with a supplier, where appropriate.

DELWP is committed to ensuring that all providers of goods and services to DELWP meet all obligations to their employees under any applicable industrial instruments recognised or registered under the National Workplace Relations System.
