Introduction

Zinfra is a leading service provider to the utility infrastructure sectors, delivering a comprehensive range of engineering, construction, operations and maintenance solutions across Australia. Our clients include many of Australia's major utility infrastructure asset owners.

Central to delivering our portfolio of works are our skilled and passionate employees and key long-term alliances with delivery partners, subcontractors and suppliers.

With the rapid pace of transformation in the energy sector, Zinfra is growing, and is seeking to expand on our supplier relationships to meet the challenges ahead.

To that end, this EoI serves as the first step in delivering supplies to Zinfra. We encourage all suppliers that are interested, capable and share common values of delivering safe, efficient and high quality services and supplies to register.

Following this EOI, in Zinfra's sole and absolute discretion a preferred supplier or preferred suppliers, may be determined from the EOI evaluation. Preferred supplier(s) may ultimately become contracted supplier(s) based on either progression as a direct result of this EOI or following subsequent Request for Quotation/Tender (RFQ/T) from a short list of preferred Respondents.
