TfNSW intends to deliver the SSC Works under a fixed price lump sum design and construct contract.

Registrations are now open for suitably experienced and qualified relevant entities to participate in the SSC Works RFT Process.

Relevant entities may include:
1. Major rail design and construction contractors;
2. Major rail systems and integration contractors;
3. Others who, in the opinion of the Project team, should be registered for the RFT process.

Entities that are not relevant entities; who in the opinion of the Project team are not rail project construction and delivery entities; or which have not demonstrated a reasonable likelihood of being able to meet the RFT Minimum Requirements; will not be registered.

* Registered to participate in the RFT process; or
* Where the entity is a consortium or other such group, had at least one of its members registered to participate in the RFT process.

Entities may register interest as individual entities or as consortia. At this stage fully formed consortium structures are not required to be registered. However, to the extent that is necessary to demonstrate a reasonable likelihood of being able to meet the RFT Minimum Requirements described below, entities seeking to register should detail which other entities, if any, they intend to join with for the purposes of submitting a Tender.

The registration process is designed to ensure that entities participating in the RFT process are bona fide entities for the SSC Works package. TfNSW confirms there will be not be a separate Expression of Interest process for the SSC Works Package.

* Has solely, or as the lead member of a consortium, managed the design, construction, commissioning and handover of at least three rail projects in brownfield station environments of value greater than $150M in NSW in the last 7 years;
* Has solely, or as the lead member of a consortium, managed the design, construction and handover of at least three rail system projects in brownfield operating rail environments (similar in scale and nature to SSC Works) in in the last 7 years;

If the Tenderer is a consortium, it must confirm that at least one member of the consortium will be able to meet each of the RFT Minimum Requirements. Entities that have not confirmed that they (or a member of any consortium of which they form part) will be able to meet the RFT Minimum Requirements will not be registered.
