How this buyer can buy

VIC mandatory (GP-04-2024)

Victorian government buyers covered by GP-04-2024 must buy mandatory categories (paper, office products, janitorial, kitchen) through that contract to 9 December 2027. Approach around the edges or position for the re-tender.

  • Mandatory SPC blocks direct supply to covered VIC buyers until next panel ATM (expected before 9 Dec 2027 expiry)
  • Incumbents COS, Officeworks and Winc hold the panel and will re-bid

Verified facts vs AI inference

Verified fact
Mandatory VIC whole-of-government panel live 10 Dec 2024 to 9 Dec 2027; next approach to market expected ahead of expiry; prior ATM ran 26 Mar - 18 Jun 2024
AI inference
This is the controlling panel for exactly SECTORCO's categories (copy paper, washroom/janitorial consumables, coffee/tea) across all VIC departments and agencies - mandatory conditions mean direct supply is blocked and the entry route is the next panel tender; regional agencies spending under $10,000 annually with a regional supplier are exempt, a narrow direct niche
