Tamworth Regional Council is seeking quotes from suitably qualified suppliers for the provision and delivery of swimming pool chemicals to six public aquatic facilities located across the region. These facilities are situated in Barraba, Kootingal, Manilla, Nundle, South Tamworth, and Tamworth City. The contract will commence in September 2025 and run for a period of 12 months, covering the full 2025–2026 pool season.

The scope of supply includes bulk deliveries of non-fuming hydrochloric acid and sodium hypochlorite, as well as palletised deliveries of calcium hypochlorite, sodium bicarbonate, cyanuric acid, and calcium chloride. Chemicals must meet specified quality standards, including minimum available chlorine percentages and concentration levels. Suppliers will be required to provide current Safety Data Sheets (SDS), chemical signage, and compliance advice, along with optional services such as emergency pump-outs and servicing of dosing equipment.

Due to limited on-site storage and restricted access (including lack of forklift access at most sites), deliveries will need to be staged throughout the season. Bulk chemicals must be delivered directly into storage tanks, with a minimum order of 1,000 litres. Packaged chemicals must be delivered into designated storage areas, with a minimum order of one pallet. All deliveries must be made within 14 days of receiving a purchase order, and suppliers must provide at least 24 hours’ notice prior to arriving on site.

This RFQ seeks a single supplier capable of meeting all delivery, compliance, and service requirements across the six sites. The Council is aiming for a streamlined and practical procurement process, with a focus on reliability, safety, and value for money.

Important Submission Requirements: Suppliers must read and acknowledge all documents attached to this RFQ, including the General Conditions of Contract, Specifications for Service, and the Submission Document. The Submission Document must be completed in full for the submission to be considered conforming. Incomplete submissions or failure to acknowledge the attached documents may result in disqualification from the evaluation process.
