Document background
The Letter of Interest to Supply Goods is a crucial preliminary business document used in the Australian commercial landscape when a company wishes to formally express its interest and capability in becoming a supplier to another organization. This document is typically used in the early stages of business relationships, before entering into formal supply agreements or contracts. It serves to introduce the potential supplier's capabilities, outline the proposed goods for supply, and establish initial communication channels. While not legally binding, the letter must be drafted in accordance with Australian commercial law principles, particularly considering the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) and state-specific fair trading legislation. It's commonly used when responding to procurement opportunities, entering new markets, or approaching potential customers, and can serve as a foundation for future detailed negotiations and formal agreements.
