Procurement & Gifts

EDMH as a Public Health Service is required to be compliant with Health Purchasing Victoria contracts and policies.

As health service requirements cover a very broad spectrum of goods and services prospective suppliers are encouraged to contact the EDMH Chief Purchasing Officer on (03) 5585 9818 to determine what opportunities there might be for their business to supply goods and/or services to EDMH.

All significant Procurement Projects undertaken at EDMH not available through existing contract arrangements are conducted through an Open Tender Process with local, state, and national suppliers, all able to tender for the supply of these goods and services in a competitive process. These opportunities are released through Tenders Victoria. Most Victorian Government Tender opportunities are advertised on Tenders Victoria and suppliers can register with Tenders Victoria to be alerted to new opportunities across the State of Victoria in their chosen areas of Supply.
