Practical steps to strengthen business readiness

Businesses of every size can take practical steps now to strengthen their foundations and respond when relevant work becomes available.

Step 1: Understand the opportunity

Learn how Brisbane 2032 procurement works, what may be required and how businesses can get involved.

Step 2: Create or update your supplier profile

Create a profile on the Brisbane 2032 Supplier Portal (on Gateway by ICN). Ensure business information, capabilities and contact details remain accurate and up to date, so you are prepared to submit an expression of interest if a relevant work package is released.

Step 3. Build connections

Some work may be delivered through supply chains and partnerships. Businesses can strengthen industry networks, attend events and consider collaborating with other organisations.

Step 4: Strengthen capability and procurement readiness

An Expression of Interest is required

Businesses interested in supplying goods or services to Brisbane 2032 can submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) for a relevant work package through the Brisbane 2032 Supplier Portal on Gateway by ICN.

Submitting an EOI puts a business forward for consideration and allows Brisbane 2032 to assess whether its capabilities align with the opportunity.

Businesses shortlisted at the EOI stage may be invited to progress to the next stage of the procurement process through an Invitation to Offer (ITO).
