Prequalification

Our Prequalification Scheme (PQS) allows us to efficiently and effectively engage contractors to carry out work in specific work categories without the need for a standard tender process for each engagement. The benefits for both the supplier and us include simplified terms and conditions, no lock in contracts, flexibility of accepting / rejecting work and streamlined competitive tendering processes.

The work categories available under the scheme cover:

  • Construction Services (1010)
  • Distribution Network Services (1020)
  • Engineering Services (4001)
  • Major Projects Design & Construction Services (1030)
  • Plant & Equipment Hire (2000)
  • Professional Services (4000)

At this point in time we will not be accepting any additional suppliers until late 2018.  Suppliers are encouraged to submit a business profile to: SPGNetworkServices@energyq.com.au

  • Capability and availability of resources
  • Financial capacity and stability
  • Licencing & Insurance
