Power and Water purchases over $300 million a year in goods and services, from local suppliers wherever possible.
Examples of the goods purchased are electrical equipment for the generation and distribution of electricity – generators, transformers, insulators and cable – as well as technologies to provide renewable energy sources. In water and waste water infrastructure, we purchase reticulation supplies, as well as pumps, washers and filtration chemicals. In addition, we purchase office equipment and supplies for our many locations across the Territory.
Services are contracted in electrical and water infrastructure repairs and maintenance, grounds and vegetation management, as well as consultancies in engineering, graphic design, drafting services, market research and construction.
All Power and Water’s tenders are managed through the NT Government Tenders Online site.
