Standing Offer Arrangements

The Department of Education (Procurement Branch) is responsible for the Food and Tuckshop Supplies standing offer arrangement (SOA) and the Online Ordering System SOA, which are both applicable in Queensland state schools.

SOAs can help tuckshops and P&Cs choose suppliers that have already been approved by the Department of Education.

The linked resources below will be useful for tuckshops to ensure that they receive the best possible pricing and service from approved companies.
