This includes: • Assessing electromagnetic impacts on sensitive facilities, laboratories, and equipment; • Identifying and quantifying risk exposure to EMI • Advising on mitigation measures and protection strategies; • Supporting the preparation of technical submissions and expert responses. Ahead of issuing a formal Request for Fee Proposal (RFFP), the University seeks written confirmation from interested organisations that they: • Have no financial, commercial, or personal involvement in the SRL project that could give rise to an actual or perceived conflict of interest; or alternatively a clear methodology to mitigate this; • Are not part of any consortium, joint venture, or affiliated entity currently participating in the SRL project; • Has no prior involvement that may present a real or perceived conflict; • Has demonstrated expertise in EMC/EMI advisory services, particularly for major infrastructure projects and sensitive environments; • Has experience supporting submissions and hearings, including providing technical responses to expert evidence. Interested organisations are asked to respond to this EOI by providing confirmation of: • Your interest in submitting a fee proposal • Your organisation’s conflict-free status; • Your relevant EMC/EMI experience; and • Your acceptance of the University’s confidentiality requirements by signed and returned form as part of this EOI response. Responses of no more than 4 pages (excluding the returned confidentiality agreement) are requested no later than 2:00 pm, Friday 10 July 2026. Following shortlisting, the University will issue a Request for Fee Proposal (RFFP). After evaluating submissions, the appointment of a suitably qualified consultant is anticipated in August/September 2026.
