The State of Queensland is seeking to establish a Standing Offer Arrangement (SOA) for hazardous substances identification and advisory services. This includes assessing, identifying, monitoring, and providing advice on the safe management and rectification of physical, chemical, biological, and environmental hazards across Queensland. The SOA will be for an unspecified duration, with an invitation to submit offers closing on June 30, 2026. The procurement process includes a review period for draft documents and an industry briefing session to gather feedback before final documents are published.
The closing date for submitting offers is Tuesday, 30 June 2026, 01:00 AM E. South America Standard Time.
Invoices are to be submitted within 7 days of work completion. Waste disposal fees will be reimbursed at cost upon presentation of a receipt. Approved expenses will be reimbursed at cost including GST when supported by a signed copy of a ticket, docket, or paid invoice, provided prior written approval has been obtained.
As a mandatory requirement of this SOA, all works delivered under a purchase contract must be covered by a service guarantee for the services delivered. The guarantee shall cover all costs associated with the replacement of all defective works, including all labour, travel and materials that are required to be replaced at the site where applicable.
Consultants must have and maintain a certified safety management system compliant with ISO **** services at certain sites, workers may need a positive notice blue card. Consultants must also be eligible and cleared to enter correctional centres if working at such sites.
Failure to meet KPIs may result in a stop work order, preventing the consultant from receiving further purchase contracts. Any breach and/or termination of a purchase contract may also result in a stop work order.
The document does not explicitly state whether a site visit is mandatory or optional. However, it details extensive procedures for site access and work area inspections, suggesting that understanding the site conditions is crucial.
Sample testing supplied as part of the services is to be charged at cost exclusive of GST, plus an agreed percentage markup. This markup covers transporting samples to the laboratory, not the cost of taking the samples.
The supplier query cutoff date is Friday, 26 June 2026, 01:00 AM E. South America Standard Time.
Consultants may be excluded for contravening the Queensland Government Supplier Code of Conduct or the Code of Conduct for the Queensland Public Service. Misconduct, incompetence, negligence, or breach of SOA conditions can lead to removal from site and prohibition from future work.
