The document does not specify payment terms for services rendered under the panel agreement. Individual service packages will be commissioned via work orders or contracts established directly between the customer and the approved supplier.
The evaluation criteria include Warranties and guarantees on the goods and services, indicating that warranty information will be considered, but specific warranty periods or requirements are not detailed in this section.
Tenders will be evaluated using a weighted point score system considering price and non-price criteria, including use of recycled materials, customer service experience, tendered prices, risk, environmental and quality management systems, local economic benefit, relevant experience, employee credentials, subcontractor details, timeframe, workload and capacity, warranties, and compliance with RFT requirements.
Tenderers must be suitably qualified organisations and, if applicable, licensed or registered to perform the services. The evaluation will consider capability credentials of supplier employees and details of current and previous relevant experience.
The document does not explicitly detail penalties for non-performance or breaches of contract. However, it mentions that the Approved Supplier Agreement (ASA) will establish the terms and conditions under which customers may engage approved suppliers.
The RFT mentions the possibility of a siteindustry briefing which tenderers may be required to attend. Details of this briefing will be provided to tenderers at least seven business days prior.
The document does not specify a deadline for lodging challenges or objections to the tender process or award.
Tenderers must not collude with other tenderers, as this can lead to civil and criminal liability. Interfering with or discussing tenders with LGA Procurement employees other than the nominated contact officer may also lead to rejection of the tender.
