Council is seeking responses to this Invitation from suitably qualified service providers for the provision of Electrical Line Tree Clearance (ELC) Services. The Contract term will be for an initial period of three (3) years, with an option to extend for a further two (2) years at Council’s sole discretion. The ELC Services to be provided under the Contract include: (a) Bi-annual planned inspections and all associated remedial and vegetation management works identified through those inspections, including completion of the First Cut by 30 November and the Second Cut by 31 May, each year. (b) Reactive inspection, pruning and remedial works throughout the year, as required to ensure compliance with applicable laws, recognised codes, standards and guidelines and Council’s Electrical Line Clearance Management Plan; and (c) Develop, maintain and provide complete, accurate and verifiable records of inspections and works undertaken to support Council in demonstrating compliance with its legislative and regulatory obligations. Swan Hill Rural City Council (Council) is responsible for maintaining vegetation clearances around its electrical assets in the Declared Areas to ensure public safety, network reliability and compliance with relevant legislation and industry standards.

The service must be delivered in accordance with applicable laws, recognised codes, standards and guidelines and Council’s Electrical Line Clearance Management Plan, with particular consideration given to seasonal growth, fire risk mitigation and minimal disruption to the community.
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.
