INTRODUCTION Mackay Regional Council (the Principal) invites Tenders from suitably qualified Tenderers for the execution and completion of the Works known as: Stone Drive, Shoal Point DN450 Trunk Sewer Gravity Main Replacement Contract No. MRC-2026-COCC-000095 The Works comprise the replacement of sections of the DN450 trunk sewer gravity main and associated sewerage and civil infrastructure, including construction of new gravity sewer mains and maintenance holes, modifications to existing infrastructure, temporary bypass pumping, decommissioning of redundant assets, reinstatement works, and associated activities, as described in detail in Part 5 – Scope. The Works are to be carried out at the Site described in the Contract Documents and in accordance with the requirements of the Contract, including the Scope, Drawings, and the directions of the Superintendent. This Request for Tender is conducted in accordance with the Procurement Process Conditions identified in Part 3. Tenderers must submit their Tender in accordance with the requirements of this Request for Tender and the Response Schedules identified in Part 6 TIMING The proposed commencement date for the Works is September 2026. The anticipated contract duration is approximately six (6) months, subject to the terms of the Contract and the dates stated in Annexure Part A NATURE OF CONTRACT The Principal intends to enter into a Contract substantially in the form of the documents identified in Part 4 – Contract, including the General Conditions of Contract, Special Conditions, and associated Contract Documents. The Contract Sum will be a Lump Sum with a priced Bill of Quantities (BOQ) as described in the General Conditions of Contract (refer to ‘Part 4 Contract’). All rates and quantities are to be checked by the Tenderer. Any discrepancies must be reported to the Principal during the tender advertising process (refer to Part 2 for how to lodge questions). Quantities provided in the BOQ are indicative only and are for the purpose of structuring payment claims. Differences in quantities or omitted items do not of themselves give rise to a Variation or adjustment to the Contract Sum, except where a Variation is formally directed in accordance with the Contract.
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.
