North West Hospital and Health Service (NWHHS) invites tenders from suitably qualified and experienced contractors to undertake construction of the staff accommodation projects for Mount Isa, Camooweal and/or Dajarra (the project). The project’s preliminary design is outlined in the documents provided by AECOM – included in “Attachment 3 – Preliminary Design”.

The services required are Parts C and D of the Modern Methods of Construction Project. In summary, the Department of Energy and Public Works has established a panel arrangement for the supply, delivery and installation (Parts A and B) of prefabricated modular products, including homes (in this case staff accommodation). To support the installation of these prefabricated homes, contractors are required to provide ‘site setup’ including demolition, civil, service connections and external temporary site fencing (excluding concrete slab for the modular building) (Part C) and ‘site external works’ including hard and soft landscaping, driveways and garages/carports (Part D). This ITT is seeking contractors to provide Parts C and D for the Mount Isa, Camooweal and Dajarra staff accommodation projects.

Please note that the Part C and D contractor will need to complete some minor site preparation works (site levelling, etc) prior the Part A provider constructing the slab and installing the prefabricated modular building. Whilst the blended works are being undertaken, and during the whole of Part C and D works, the Part C and D contractor will be the principal contractor for the purposes of the Workplace Health and Safety Act 2011 and Workplace Health and Safety Regulation 2011.

Please note that NWHHS is looking for submissions from the market to provide the services at one, some, or all of the sites mentioned above. The determination of which supplier provides best value for money for which site will be based on an assessment of the tenders against the evaluation criteria, on a site by site basis. For example, one contractor could be awarded one, some, or all sites. If it is ‘some or all’ of the sites, then the different sites will be managed through separable portions under the contract (AS4300-1995).
