About this tender

Major Projects Canberra has elected to approach the market to establish the Canberra Light Rail Specialist Advisors Panel arrangement, which will supersede the current panel arrangement. Under this Open Panel arrangement, interested Tenderers may submit a tender response at any time, until the prescribed closing date of 29 July 2027. Tender submissions will be evaluated in accordance with the endorsed process and Tenderers will be notified of the outcome of this assessment. If successful in being appointed under the Panel, Tenderers are advised that there is no guarantee of work and that other ACT Government Directorates may utilise the Panel outside of the Canberra Light Rail Project and in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the Panel Deed.

How to respond to this tender

A strong tender response is clear, compliant, and backed by evidence. These steps apply to most Australian and New Zealand public tenders.

Open the official listing and download the full tender pack. Note the response schedules, evaluation criteria, mandatory conditions, and the exact closing time and lodgement method.

Confirm you are eligible and it is worth bidding

Check licences, insurances, certifications, and any conformance requirements before you commit. A quick bid or no-bid decision saves days of wasted effort on a tender you cannot win.

Answer every criterion with evidence

Respond to each evaluation criterion directly and back your claims with concrete examples, referees, and past performance. Address the buyer’s stated need, not a generic capability statement.

Lodge early through the official portal

Submit through the source portal well before the deadline. Late or incorrectly lodged bids are almost always rejected, so leave time for uploads, portal errors, and last-minute questions.
