Register with Felix
Orange City Council is seeking suitably qualified contractors, consultants, hire companies and IT specialists to register with our contractor management portal, Felix. Felix is free to register and use!
Registering on Felix lets a business operator lodge their business and compliance information (for all current and future projects) at the one time. Instead of having to submit their compliance documents every time they offer a quote, this one-stop-shop approach means this information only needs to sent once.

Contractors can also indicate the categories of work they are willing to do.
Orange City Council will use the Felix system to issue its Requests for Quotation (RFQs). The contractor/consultant can then choose to submit or decline an RFQ.
