Tenders
As part of our commitment to open communication and transparency of process, the Department of Natural Resources routinely releases summary information on contracts with the private sector where the value is above $100,000. To assist public access the information is provided free of charge on our website within 90 days of the award of the contract and will be available for 12 months. The information is provided in disclosure schedules which include the following items:
- Details of contract (description of project to be completed or goods/services to be provided or property to be transferred; commencement date of the contract; the period of the contract);
- The full identity of the successful tenderer including details of cross ownership of relevant companies;
- The price payable by the agency;
- The significant evaluation criteria and the weightings used in tender assessment;
- Provisions for re-negotiation (where applicable).
The information included in an unsuccessful tender is treated as commercial-in-confidence material and will not be disclosed unless required by law. The department has established a Contracts Review Committee to ensure probity, integrity, fairness and consistency in the procurement processes.
