Muswellbrook Shire Council is seeking tenders for the renewal of an existing passenger lift at Muswellbrook Marketplace. The lift is over 20 years old and requires significant investment. Contractors can submit proposals for either modernisation of the existing system or complete replacement with a new machineroomless lift. The evaluation will consider best overall value, including technical compliance, whole-of-life cost, and reliability. Submissions are due by 21 July 2026.
The tender closes on Tuesday, 21 July 2026 at 01:00 AM E. South America Standard Time.
Payment claims are to be made progressively, with payment of the scheduled amount due within 15 business days of the principal's representative's receipt of the payment claim. Final payment is due within 15 business days of receipt of the final payment claim.
