| Tenders Downloads and Personal Data Collection | | When you select a Tender download link on the Council website, you will be redirected to a form which requires you to fill in your contact details prior to downloading the document file. Only upon completion of the form will you be allowed to download the associated Tender files.
Why are your details required for Tender downloads? Tender Addendums need to be sent to people that have downloaded the original Tender document files. This is to ensure that they have the correct and most current information upon which to base their decisions.
When Tender Addendums are published, an email will automatically be sent to all people that have downloaded the original tender advising them of the Addendum (if an email address is supplied) or by mail. The Addendum document will be attached to the email. If the email is not received by the intended recipient, it will be returned to the email address contained in the Email Notification for the tender notice. A report of these emails can be produced and is visible only to Brimbank City Council website administrators.Top
