Mobile Catering Tenders

Tenders must be lodged by 2:00 PM Hobart time on Wednesday, 29 July 2026. Delivery of goods will be in two instalments, with specific dates to be confirmed by the principal prior to contract award.

Payment milestones are to be negotiated prior to contract award, including for delivery instalment 1, completion of the acceptance period for delivery instalment 2, and performance of all services under the contract.

The warranty period for goods is 12 months from the date of acceptance by the principal. There is an option to submit a price for extended warranties on specified items.

Tenders will be evaluated and scored against the evaluation criteria and weightings in part b of attachment 6, with the aim of providing best value for money.

Tenders will be assessed against any conditions for participation in part a of attachment 6. If a tender or tenderer does not satisfy any condition for participation, the tender will be rejected.

The document does not explicitly detail penalties for non-compliance, but it does mention that if a successful tenderer fails to execute the contract within 20 business days, the principal may cancel the award.

Potential suppliers must not inspect a site relevant to the delivery of supplies except in accordance with a site inspection arranged with the contact officer. The principal may refuse to allow site inspections.

A tenderer may lodge a complaint if they believe the RFT process has not complied with Tasmanian Government procurement policies. Further information is available from the Tasmanian Government Purchasing website.

A tender may be excluded if there is evidence of a breach of the RFT that materially affects the integrity of the process, or if the tenderer has significant deficiencies in prior contract performance.

The close date for responses is 06 July 2026, 3:00 pm. Panel commencement is estimated to be September 2026.

The evaluation will be based on general assessment criteria including experience, methodology, capability, price, and compliance.

Respondents must be an acceptable legal entity and comply with Australian food safety standards. They must also hold or be able to obtain all required licences and approvals to lawfully provide catering services.

An optional industry briefing will be held on 18 June 2026. Contact the primary contact for details.
