East Gippsland Shire Council located in Eastern Victoria covers 20,930 square kilometres with a 2024 population of 50,502 and an annual growth rate of 0.5%. The largely rural area consists of various townships and small communities, with most residents concentrated in the south-west Gippsland Lakes region. As the municipality grows and services are brought in line with updated Victorian Government policy and regulations, a comprehensive review of services was conducted to facilitate informed decision-making. This review contributed to the development of a 10-Year Waste and Recycling Transition Plan, which addresses the changing needs of the community and highlights the importance of planning for future waste and recycling services and infrastructure investment. The Kerbside Collections and Recycling Processing Services tender aligns with goals and actions outlined by the Transition Plan including: • Aligning with Victorian Government policies to reduce waste, including implementing FOGO Kerbside collections, introducing booked hard waste collections and supporting recycling initiatives. • Providing equitable, accessible and affordable waste and recycling services for our community. • Reducing waste to landfill, emissions generation and supporting greater recovery of resources through improved recycling and education. Prior to preparing the tender documents, Council, released a Request for Information (RFI) to industry to understand their capability and capacity to deliver the waste collection services that aligns with Council’s strategic priorities. The tender documents are informed by responses from industry. The tender is made up of separable portions including: • Portion A: Kerbside Collection (General Waste, Recycling, Organics, Glass), Customer Service, Community Education. • Portion B: Public Place Bin Collection and Event Services. • Portion C: Booked Hard Waste Collection, Customer Service, Community Education. • Portion D: Material Recovery Facility operations. Council aims for the best value outcome for the community and may award any or all portions to one or multiple contractors.
A strong tender response is clear, compliant, and backed by evidence. These steps apply to most Australian and New Zealand public tenders.

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.
