Sale of community bus
Tender Overview
About this tender
EOI-Works-001 - Expressions of Interest - SoM Community Bus The Shire of Manjimup is inviting expressions of interest (EOI) to purchase its 2011 Mitsubishi Fuso Rosa Community Bus, which will be sold in “as is” condition. Submissions are open to individuals, groups, and companies. While a fair and reasonable purchase price is sought, the Shire will also consider non-price factors—accounting for 50% of the assessment—particularly proposals that deliver broader community benefits. Community groups, charities, and clubs are encouraged to apply. The successful buyer must arrange collection from the Shire Depot using a driver with a valid Light Rigid licence and will be responsible for all transfer and registration costs, including stamp duty.
