Australian SME procurement flexibility

Bellbird is an Australian SME and may be engaged through procurement pathways supported by the SME exemption under the Commonwealth Procurement Rules, subject to agency requirements.

This pathway may suit advisory engagements, transformation support, capability uplift and delivery advisory.

Relevant CPR references: Appendix A — Exemption 17, CPR 3.12, CPR 9.11

Established procurement arrangements

Where agencies prefer to procure through existing panel or standing offer arrangements, Bellbird can be engaged through established delivery partner arrangements.

This can provide a practical pathway where existing procurement mechanisms are preferred, timeframes are compressed or established contracting arrangements are required.

If this pathway is preferred, Bellbird can discuss relevant partnership arrangements and the most appropriate engagement model.

Flexible procurement channels

Bellbird may also be engaged through recognised procurement intermediaries, such as SME Gateway, where channel-based procurement is preferred.

If your organisation prefers this approach, Bellbird can discuss the most appropriate pathway.

Access via SME Gateway: smegateway.com.au

Expanding procurement pathways

Bellbird is actively pursuing participation in upcoming Commonwealth panel refreshes to expand direct procurement pathways for agencies.

In the meantime, Bellbird remains accessible through the pathways outlined above.
