Register of Pre-Qualified Suppliers - Wet and Dry Plant Hire (Refresh)

⁠⁠⁠This Request for Tender constitutes a refresh of Council’s existing Register of Pre-Qualified Suppliers for Wet and Dry Plant Hire (HSC 24-10).

The refresh is being undertaken to:

• provide additional opportunities for local suppliers to be included on the Register; and

• introduce an additional category of plant and equipment to better meet operational requirements.

Existing suppliers appointed under the current Register are not required to re-submit a tender and will remain appointed for the balance of the current Term, subject to ongoing compliance with the Contract. Suppliers successfully appointed through this refresh will be added to the existing Register and will be bound by the same Contract terms and expiry date.

Hinchinbrook Shire Council (the Principal) invites tenders from a variety of suitably qualified and experienced Tenderers for appointment as a pre-qualified supplier of the wet hire (with operator) and dry hire (without operator) of mobile and fixed plant and equipment hire.

The Principal provides a range of construction and maintenance services on the Principal’s existing infrastructure assets that require the use of various plant and equipment. Pre-qualified suppliers will be used to supplement the Principal’s own equipment and resources. Successful Tenderers may be required to work with gravel, limestone, road base and other construction materials used by the Principal in the construction of roads, drainage and reserves, etc.

The initial term of the appointment is two (2) years with 1 x one year extension option.
