Tenders are invited for the removal of zinc chromate paint from steel elements of the Old Nowra Bridge and subsequent steel recycling. A mandatory pre-tender meeting and site inspection will be held on July 23, 2026. Tenderers must comply with the NSW Government Supplier Code of Conduct and other relevant guidelines. Tenders must be lodged through Buy NSW Tenders by August 11, 2026, 3:00 PM. Tenders will be assessed on best value for money, considering price, experience, capability, compliance, and financial capacity.
The tender closing date is August 11, 2026, at 3:00 PM. The estimated completion date for the project is December 19, 2026.
Tenders will be assessed on the basis of best value for money, including tender price, integrity of its structure, individual rates and prices, financial position, quality system documentation, experience, suitability of proposed personnel, plant, equipment and subcontractors, proposals for management of safety, chain of responsibility, workplace relations, environmental protection, community relations, claims history, and record of compliance with NSW Code and Guidelines.
Tenderers must have an accredited WHS management system if required, attend the pre-tender meeting and site inspection, and demonstrate commitment and capacity to plan and facilitate Aboriginal participation and comply with the Australian Government Work Health and Safety Accreditation Scheme if required.
A pre-tender meeting, including a site inspection, is mandatory for submitting a conforming tender. It will be held at the Nowra Bridge location (****, ****) on Thursday, July 23, 2026, at 11:00 AM.
Tenders submitted by facsimile will not be considered. Late tenders will not be considered unless the cause of lateness was beyond the tenderer's control and consideration would not compromise the integrity of the tendering process. Failure to register on the Buy NSW Supplier Hub prior to closing time may result in the tender being deemed non-conforming.
