Preferred Contractor Registration

The Adelaide Plains Council engages contractors and suppliers for various reasons and projects throughout the year. Council requires copies of numerous documents to ensure they are engaging qualified and appropriate contractors to supply or deliver works on behalf of Council. This process allows Council to create and maintain a preferred contractor register who provide varied services.
