Prequalification

Prequalification is a system which ensures that only appropriately skilled and experienced companies are permitted to submit tenders to DTEI in certain categories of contract. This enables tenderers to have confidence that they will not be bidding against inexperienced companies who may place unrealistically low bids.

Guidelines and application forms are available for the following schemes:


Roadworks and Bridgeworks

To become prequalified, a company must demonstrate that they have the experience, technical capacity, available resources and management systems necessary to competently undertake the work. A company may apply for prequalification in any category at any time.

Prequalification is available at various levels that reflect the complexity and value of contracts that a company will be permitted to tender for. When a contract is advertised, the Request for Tender will specify the level of prequalification required.

Prequalification does not replace effective post-tender assessment or sound contract management. It only represents a right to submit a tender. For each tender assessment, Transport SA will take into account factors such as proposed methodology, resources allocated and past company performancewhen determining which company will be successful.

Prequalification at the higher level will automatically qualify a contractor to tender for lesser value works.

For contracts of very high value or complexity, a pre-registration process (ie seeking Expressions of Interest) instead of prequalification may apply.

Further information and application forms are available from the Contracting and Procurement Section on ph (08) 8343 2029.
