McKinlay Shire Council (‘Council’) invites tenders from suitably qualified tenderers for selection as a pre-qualified supplier of slashing services. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY IF YOU ARE NOT ON THE PANEL. Tenders have the opportunity to join the existing panel that commenced on 1 December 2025 and ends on 30 November 2027. If you are currently on the panel, then you do not need to reapply. Council intends for the appointment as a pre-qualified supplier to commence on 1.12.2025 and end on 30.11.2027 (‘Term’). The Principal may extend the Term, at its discretion, for a further 12 months by giving written notice to successful Tenderers. The Principal may also, during the Term, conduct a further procurement process to appoint other suppliers. McKinlay Shire covers 40,728 km2 including four townships – Nelia to the East, McKinlay and Kynuna to the South and Julia Creek as the central town. The Shire is bounded by the Shires of Richmond, Cloncurry, Carpentaria, Winton and Croydon. Julia Creek is the main township and is located approximately 650 kilometres west of Townsville and 250 kilometres east of Mount Isa. The Principal provides a range of asset maintenance services on the Principal’s existing infrastructure assets that require the use of slashing on areas such as road sides, reserves, drainage lines and parks. Pre-qualified suppliers will be used to supplement the Principal’s own equipment and resources. Specific requirements will be provided on a project-by-project basis identified in the relevant Services Engagement Order at the time of engagement. Successful Tenderers may make a written request to the Principal to add, replace or change their tendered plant and equipment during the Term.
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.
