The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), through Protocol Branch (PRB), requires a supplier to provide appropriate contractor personnel to support the delivery of airport facilitation services. The services will involve the provision of personnel to undertake meet and greet functions at Australian airports, including assisting eligible foreign dignitaries through arrival and departure processes, and providing on-the-ground logistical support in coordination with DFAT and relevant stakeholders. Under the proposed service model, DFAT will retain responsibility for protocol policy, diplomatic liaison, and overall coordination of airport facilitation activities. The contracted personnel will deliver operational support at airports in accordance with DFAT direction. Services will be required on a flexible, ad hoc basis across multiple Australian airports, including both international and domestic movements. The provider will be responsible for recruiting, maintaining, and administering a capable workforce, including associated payroll, insurances, and compliance obligations. The procurement seeks to establish a contractual arrangement that ensures consistent, professional, and reliable facilitation services aligned with DFAT’s operational and diplomatic requirements. Other Instructions: The procurement will be conducted via an open approach to market . Tenderers must complete all Tender Response Forms as part of their submission. The resulting contract is expected to commence in July 2026 (subject to approvals) and run for an initial period of up to 2 years with extension options. All personnel engaged under the contract must meet DFAT security, WHS, and conduct requirements. A tender briefing may be issued if required, with details provided.

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.
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.
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.
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.
