PSA019/17 Prequalified Supplier Arrangement - Trade Services

Summary and scope

Charters Towers Regional Council undertakes a variety of repairs, general maintenance, construction works and associated functions that often requires suppliers of goods and services to be engaged to assist in the completion of these tasks. Establishing a Register of Prequalified Suppliers for contractors/suppliers able to provide these goods and services assists Council in delivering its services to the community in an efficient and effective manner. As outlined in the Local Government Regulation a register of pre-qualified suppliers can be established where; (a) the preparation and evaluation of invitations every time the goods or services are needed would be costly; or (b) the capability or financial capacity of the supplier of the goods or services is critical; or (c) the supply of the goods or services involves significant security considerations; or (d) a precondition of an offer to contract for the goods or services is compliance with particular standards or conditions set by the local government; or (e) the ability of local business to supply the goods or services needs to be discovered or developed. This tender request does not seek pricing, but rather serves to evaluate suppliers based on their responses to ensure Council has a register of providers available that have been assessed as having the technical, financial, managerial capability, work health & safety, environmental and quality systems necessary to perform contracts on time and in accordance with agreed requirements.
