Forward Procurement Plan

To increase transparency and help businesses identify and plan for our future needs, Museums Victoria has issued a Forward Procurement Plan. This Plan lists our anticipated major purchases over the next 12-24 months. The Plan is a guide only. Companies should register with the TendersVic website to ensure that they get advice on any upcoming tenders. All planned procurement activities are subject to revision or cancellation. The information in the Forward Procurement Plan is provided for information purposes only. It does not represent a solicitation or invitation to supply or a commitment by the department to purchase. The Plan will be updated annually as a minimum.
