Instructions to Tenderers

The design documentation has been developed on the basis of an anticipated project delivery cost in the order of approximately $2 million. Tenderers should note that value for money will form part of the evaluation process, and offers that materially exceed this budget expectation may be considered less competitive and may not be prioritised for further consideration.
