The Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (the Department) requires access to reliable blue‑collar labour hire (labour hire) services to support Agriculture Victoria’s SmartFarms network, an integrated group of advanced research and innovation farms located across regional Victoria. Labour hire candidates may be engaged during peak demand periods and at other times as required to support: research and development activities fieldwork and trials day‑to‑day farm operations; and short‑term or project‑based requirements. Service Providers must be capable of rapidly sourcing, screening, and deploying suitably skilled labour hire to one or more SmartFarm locations. SmartFarm Locations The Department’s SmartFarm network is located across key agricultural regions of Victoria, with sites at Horsham, Hamilton, Irymple, Ellinbank and Tatura. These strategically located SmartFarms support research, innovation and operational activities aligned with the dominant agricultural systems and regional priorities of each location. Prequalified Panel of Service Providers The Department will establish and maintain a panel of Service Providers that have been assessed against mandatory requirements and defined capability and experience criteria and determined to be suitable to deliver labour hire services across the SmartFarms network in Victoria. Service Providers appointed to the panel will be awarded a standing offer contract with the Department, setting out the terms and conditions under which services may be requested from time to time. The panel will operate as a sourcing mechanism to streamline procurement activities, enabling the Department to efficiently engage Service Providers without undertaking a full tender process for each requirement. Engagements under the panel will be made on an as-needs basis, having regard to workforce requirements specific to each SmartFarm location. Inclusion on the panel and execution of a contract does not guarantee the allocation of work.

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.
