The South Australian Tourism Commission is opening its existing Events Electrical Services Panel to seek additional suppliers. The panel aims to provide a selection of qualified suppliers for electrical services, equipment, and contractors for events, emphasizing competitive rates and quick mobilization. The panel term is two years, with a secondary procurement process involving requests for quotes (RFQs) for specific events. Panel members are not guaranteed work, and selection will be based on expertise. Key aspects include mandatory criteria such as insurance and conflict of interest declarations, weighted criteria like experience and value for money, and non-weighted criteria. Offers must be submitted electronically or in hardcopy by the closing date. The South Australian Industry Participation Policy is applicable, requiring an IPP plan. There is no mandatory industry briefing or site visit specified.
The closing date for submissions is Wednesday, 29 April 2026, at 10:00 am Adelaide time.
Offers will be evaluated on their merits according to mandated criteria, weighted criteria, and non-weighted criteria. The weighted criteria include demonstrated experience, company capability and capacity, quality of product/service, and value for money. Non-weighted criteria include overall compliance with the draft agreement and specification, risk assessment, and financial stability.
New suppliers wishing to join the panel will be required to meet the same evaluation criteria as existing panel members. Mandatory criteria include public liability insurance of not less than $20,000,000 and professional indemnity insurance of not less than $10,000,000.
The invitation states that there is no site visit specified.
