Cattle Muster – Kowanyama
Tender Overview
About this tender
Council is seeking tenders from suitably experienced tenderers to undertake Muster Services over the 2026 and 2027 seasons (2 years) on the Aboriginal Land to fulfill the destock notice. The expected duration each season will be 6+ months over the dry season (July – December). It is common that the community of Kowanyama and surrounds are cut off due to inclement weather from December to May annually. How to Apply Responses are to be submitted via email to tenders@kowanyama.qld.gov.au and must include the Tender number in the subject line (i.e., KASC-2026-050). Council reserves the right to not consider submissions sent to any other email address. All enquiries are to be via email to tenders@kowanyama.qld.gov.au. Please be advised that communication closing time is two (2) calendar days prior to Tender close date (as amended). Any enquiries received after this will not be actioned.
How to respond to this tender

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.
