North East Water has an ongoing need to improve the performance and integrity of its aging infrastructure. This project is for the sewer relining in Beechworth, Benalla, Tallangatta, Wangaratta, Wodonga and Yarrawonga.
North East Water will issue an RfT to the open market seeking to engage a Principal Contractor under a construction 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. 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).
Tenderers must have one of the following approved OHS assurance systems that is independently certified/audited for currency, to be considered eligible to participate in this tender:
(a) ‘Safety Map’;
(b) AS 4801 2001: OHS Management Systems;
(c) Civil Contractors Federation Management Code;
(d) Australian Government Building and Construction WHS Accreditation Scheme; and
(e) ISO 45001 2008 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems.
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.
Thank you for your interest in this project.
