State road and bridge tender questions.

What is TMR or Transport for NSW prequalification?

The assessment Transport for NSW and Queensland TMR use to decide who can tender road and bridge work, under the National Prequalification System. The agency makes the decision.

What do R1–R5, B1–B4 and F levels mean?

Roadworks are R1 to R5 and bridgeworks B1 to B4, with 1 the lowest. A financial level, F0.25 to F150 PLUS, caps the GST-inclusive contract value. Tenders state the minimum required.

Where are TfNSW and TMR tenders published?

Transport for NSW uses NSW eTendering for major construction. TMR publishes infrastructure tenders on eTenders, and uses QTenders for other contracts. The agency's notice is the source of truth.

Does Tendor guarantee a tender win or advance notice of state road work?

No. Tendor organises published programs, tenders and award records. It does not promise wins or advance notice. Your team keeps pricing and sign-off.
