A 12-month defects liability period is included. All work must comply with Australian Standards, state, and federal legislation. Mandatory criteria include accredited WHS, quality, and environmental management systems. Weighted criteria include organisation experience, key personnel experience, works methodology, sustainability, and price. All communication and enquiries must be directed through the online forum. A local supplier preference weighting will be applied.
