Opportunity requirements

1. Execution of Powerhouse Confidentiality Declaration

As a condition of this Request for Quote, interested respondents are required to execute Powerhouse’s Confidentiality Declaration prior to the release of detailed RFQ materials. Powerhouse has provided the confidentiality declaration in this requirement for interested respondents. RFQ documentation will be issued only upon receipt and verification of a duly executed declaration. Failure to return the signed declaration will preclude the interested respondent from receiving the RFQ information or participating further in the process.

Due to project time constraints, no extension of time will be provided for the RFQ period. Interested respondents are therefore strongly encouraged to complete and return the declaration as soon as possible to ensure they are able to participate within the required timeframe.

Please send signed confidentiality declarations to:

genna.kaur@powerhouse.com.au and procurement@powerhouse.com.au with the heading RFQ - Exhibition Fit Out - The Mall – Confidentiality Declaration.

Following receipt of an executed confidentiality declaration, interested respondents will be provided with the detailed RFQ documentation.

Interested respondents can also attend a non-mandatory briefing session and site visit on 13 February 2026, from 10:00am – 11:00am. Attendance is subject to completion and return of the Powerhouse Confidentiality Declaration prior to the session.
