CQUEOI-26-21-DFM - CTL Student Accommodation
Tender Overview
About this tender
CQUniversity Australia (CQUniversity) is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) from suitably qualified and experienced developers, investors, and operators to design, develop, deliver and/or operate purpose-built student accommodation to support the growing student demand at its campuses in regional Queensland. CQUniversity is open to traditional and innovative commercial, delivery and operating models, and encourages proponents to propose solutions that are financially sustainable, student-centred, and operationally efficient. This EOI is intended to approach the market and seek information to allow the University to realistically consider available options to finalise a potential preferred approach to student accommodation provision, particularly at its Mackay and Bundaberg campuses, although we are also interested in expanding student accommodation across our entire regional footprint. For detailed information on the specific services sought under this tender, please review the “Expression of Interest” document attached.
