RDA Northern Rivers and NSW Reconstruction Authority have collaborated to list Northern Rivers tenders in one easy-to-find location. 

In response to business’ calls for an easier way to find tender opportunities across our seven local government areas, this feature will be accessed on the Live Northern Rivers website via https://livenorthernrivers.com.au/tenders.

Live Northern Rivers is a liveability platform that was recently launched by RDA Northern Rivers with the aim of attracting a workforce from within and beyond the Northern Rivers. Businesses work hard to build and maintain a reliable team of employees in our region. Live Northern Rivers aims to support employers with information for relocators from outside the region, past residents considering returning to the region and residents interested in locating to other parts of the Northern Rivers.

This portal provides a feed of all the opportunities, that are open for tender, with the local councils and the NSW government tender portal. The information is sourced from official tender portals and links back to the relevant procurement platforms for tender submissions.

Nathan McGrath, RDA Northern Rivers Director of Regional Development said, “We want to make it easy for businesses to see at a glance, the projects that are open for tender across the Northern Rivers. With seven local council websites to track, the Live Northern Rivers platform is an opportunity to show these tenders together on one page.”

The portal will aggregate the tenders that have a status of open, closed and awarded in the Northern Rivers local government areas of Richmond Valley, Clarence Valley, Lismore City, Kyogle, Ballina Shire, Byron Shire, and the Tweed Shire. NSW Government tenders relating to projects in the region will also be visible in the Live Northern Rivers tender portal.

Businesses that are interested in submitting tenders must still register with the relevant procurement platforms where detailed tender documents and applications must be made. Future enhancements to this tender portal page will include the ability to set up alerts, weekly notifications and shortlisting of tenders of interest.
