Maritime Security Services
Tender Overview
About this tender
Overview Tasmanian Ports Corporation Pty Ltd (TasPorts) is seeking responses from suitably qualified and experienced service providers to deliver Maritime Security Services as outlined in Annexure A, TasPorts' Requirements of this RFT. Instructions to Tenderers This tender is being conducted concurrently with Devonport Airport Security Services 6S100120260710. Service providers with the capability and capacity to deliver services under both procurement processes are encouraged to submit responses to either or both tenders, as appropriate. TasPorts recognises that there may be operational and administrative synergies and efficiencies associated with the provision of multiple related services (the subject of both tenders) by a single service provider and would prefer these to be delivered by one provider. Each tender will firstly be assessed independently and on its own merits in accordance with the evaluation criteria specified in the respective Request for Tender documentation. After this initial assessment, overall consideration will then be given to the assessment of these synergies of a single supplier. Suppliers are encouraged to consider sub-contracting or consortium arrangements in order to present a single supplier solution for TasPorts. Eligibility TasPorts welcomes responses from all suitably qualified service providers. While local knowledge, established operational capability, or a presence within Tasmania may support service delivery outcomes, respondents are not required to maintain a Tasmanian presence to be considered for award.
