Temporary and Contracted Workers PSP - Targeted Refresh

Overview Queensland Government Procurement, on behalf of the Department of Housing and Public Works (DHPW), has issued this Invitation to Apply (ITA) seeking applications for a targeted refresh of the whole-of-Government GGS0060 Temporary and Contracted Workers Preferred Supplier Panel (PSP). About Suppliers who are currently appointed to the GGS0060 PSP should note that this refresh does NOT require any actions from them, as this is an opportunity for new suppliers to join the PSP. The PSP will expire on 29 May 2028, and the Principal expects to commence planning for the next open market process within the next 18 months. Purpose This refresh has been intentionally limited to identified diverse supplier cohorts. This targeted approach is intended to ensure the refresh is proportionate and aligned with the objectives of the Queensland Procurement Policy 2026, while also avoiding unnecessary tendering costs and effort for suppliers who may otherwise invest significant time and resources in seeking appointment to the current PSP for a relatively limited remaining term. Objectives The key objectives of this refresh are to: Align the composition of the existing PSP with the objectives of the Queensland Procurement Policy 2026, particularly the application of purposeful public procurement outcomes to significant procurement activities undertaken by government customers (Rule 20) Increase representation of diverse supplier types that are currently underrepresented on the PSP Support local economic benefit for Queensland when securing value for money Provide customers with greater choice through the inclusion of quality suppliers offering competitive pricing Eligibility This refresh is specifically targeted at diverse supplier types that are currently underrepresented on the PSP and that can demonstrate the capability, capacity, experience and ability to deliver value for money in one or more service categories. The targeted diverse supplier cohorts include: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Businesses (with a physical office location in Queensland) Social Enterprises (with a physical office location in Queensland) Queensland Regional Businesses Veteran-owned and operated Queensland businesses Instructions to Tenderers For full details, please refer to Part A: Invitation to Apply, including: In scope services (section 2) Out of scope services (section 3) Assessment criteria, mandatory and other (section 8.1)
