A preliminary design will be issued as part of an RfT to the open market seeking to engage a Principal Contractor under a design and construct contract to deliver this project.

North East Water requires a Principal Contractor that must have a supplier management system that is fully certified by a certifying body against one of the standards / assurance systems listed by both the Department of Treasury & Finance (DTF) and WorkSafe.  For contracts of less than $500k the tenderer must be able to demonstrate compliance with DTF’s 12 point evaluation criteria.  A detailed guide on the mandatory OHS management criteria is available on the DTF’s Practitioners Toolkit – Document library page (located towards to bottom of the webpage).

North East Water encourages Contractors to undertake the DTF’s prequalification process to enable registration for construction and/or construction related services on the Construction Contractors Register. The Victorian Government and Public bodies such as North East Water may use the Construction Contractors Register to create shortlists of Contractors to invite to submit tenders for Public Construction and Construction Related Services.
