Preamble
The Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI) provides asset, risk and
project advice and management to the Government of South Australia (the State) and its
agencies and facilitates the interface between Government and the building and
construction industry.
In partnership with the building industry DPTI strives for excellence in the delivery of its
projects to the South Australian community.
This project is being delivered for the <#PROJECT.LEAD_AGENCY>. The Principal,
wishes to work as a team with DPTI, the Contractor and the appointed professional
service contractors to achieve project objectives particularly completion to specified
quality, program and budget.
The Contractor contracts to contribute to the design and to management of the program
and cost, to construct the works and to manage the sub contractors while liaising with the
Principal and the Principal’s professional service contractors, the lead agency and all
other relevant stakeholders in return for a contract price.
Working as part of the project team the Contractor will:
(a)
contribute to the design and documentation by advising on all aspects of
constructability including the economics of all design and detailing
(b)
take the lead role in the development of the project program and utilizing it as a
base to develop the most effective program and methodology for completing the
design and construction within the time frame while ensuring minimal disruption
(c)
plan site operational logistics and site access protocols
(d)
determine the most effective and economic subcontract packaging for the works
that maximizes risk management, control of the safety and quality of the
construction process and assures a high quality project outcome
(e)
develop
contract
documentation
and
works
priorities
and
the
scheduling/programming of the works so that handover of the project is achieved
on the prescribed date
(f)
provide advice to project team on value and cost management generally and to the
cost manager particularly with regard to market conditions, trends and
subcontractor pricing
(g)
optimise the quality of the subcontract documentation in collaboration with the
professional service contractors
(h)
provide advice on ecologically sustainable materials, plant and equipment and
construction methodology so as to deliver the maximum possible ecologically
sustainable development.
(a)
tender and contract the subcontract packages in accordance with government’s
tendering protocols
(b)
manage the project program
(c)
actively contribute to managing the project budget
(d)
manage and mitigate all construction related risks
(e)
apply safe work practices, effectively manage industrial relations and implement an
environmental/waste management plan.
The selection of the Contractor will be a value based selection which seeks to achieve
best value for government in the purchase of Contractor services through a weighted
points score system. The system allows non-price criteria detailed in the tender
documents and the tendered price for the specified Contractor services to be taken into
account. The system judges the ability of the Contractor to contribute to the expertise of
the project team, to have the necessary resources and to perform the services effectively.
Notice to Tenderers
This Notice to Tenderers is a way of informing tenderers of general information and in
particular recent changes to the conditions of tendering or contract. Please ensure that
the notice is read and understood. If there are any queries contact the DPTI Project Risk
Manager.
Recent changes to Conditions of Tendering and/or Contract
The attention of tenderers is drawn to:
(a)
the revised format of these Conditions of Tendering which are now in parts. In
particular note that the tender submission requirements are consolidated in Part 2
Tender Submission.
(b)
the revised requirements related to the South Australian Industry Participation
Policy in clause 1.2.6 of these Conditions of Tendering.
Tender Documents Format
The attention of tenderers is drawn to the format of tender documents. Tender documents
are presented in three volumes:
(a)
Conditions of Tendering – Tender Volume 1
(b)
Principal’s Project Requirements – Tender Volume 2
(c)
Drawings – Tender Volume 3
Please ensure that you refer to the Tender Documents schedule in Tender Volume 1
(above) for an overview of the tender documents.
Information to be submitted
Non-price criteria are included in the tender evaluation process to provide greater
certainty of project outcomes. The inclusion of non-price criteria in the tender evaluation
process is based on the recognition that the lowest priced conforming tender does not
necessarily represent best value for money.
Non-price and performance criteria have been included in the conditions of tendering in
addition to price criteria and the tender evaluation panel will generally evaluate the
tenders in regard to best value.
The evaluation process set out in the DPTI guide note ‘Value Selection of Construction
Tenders (G13) (which can be downloaded from the Building Project Information
Management System (BPIMS) Project Library) will be used by the tender evaluation
panel.
In addition to submission of the tender price, tenderers are required to submit information
in response to non-price criteria and other information as set out in the tender documents.
The tender price used to determine the initially preferred tender shall be the conforming
tender price as submitted on the tender form and if applicable any alternative submitted by
the tenderer that is assessed as being acceptable.
Incentive
The Principal is considering the merits of including in the Contract provision of a monetary
sum as an incentive to contractors (construction and professional service) for excellent
performance with particular focus on time. The inclusion of an incentive fund is subject to
further negotiation between the State, the preferred Tenderer and the State’s professional
service contractors.
There are key project objectives that the project team will work collaboratively to achieve.
Imperative objectives relate to discuss key objectives.
Separate Advice Contract
Given the necessary processes from identification of the preferred tenderer to contract
award, it is intended that the preferred tenderer will be offered a separate advice only
contract to ensure there is early constructability advice available to the project team
pending government decision on the award of this Contract.
CONDITIONS OF TENDERING
Part 1

compliance with these provisions.
1.2
INFORMATION ABOUT STATE CONTRACTING
1.2.1 Code of Practice
Tenderers must comply with the Code of Practice for the South Australian Construction
Industry (Code). Lodgement of a tender will be evidence of the agreement by the
tenderer to comply with the Code for the duration of any resulting contract that may be
awarded. If a tenderer fails to comply with the Code, the failure will be taken into account
by the State and its agencies when considering this or any subsequent tender by the
tenderer and may result in such tender being passed over and/or a change in the status of
the tenderer on any State Government register of contractors.
The tenderer must ensure that all subcontracts contain requirements functionally
equivalent to the requirements of this Clause.
1.2.2 DPTI Prequalification System
DPTI has a Building and Construction Project Prequalification System (Prequalification
System) for general building contractors, trade contractors and professional service
contractors.
When tendering building construction contracts, the State generally gives preference to
general building contractors registered in the Prequalification System, and to trade
contractors registered in the Prequalification System for Selected Sub-contract Work in a
range of Work/Trade types.
The State is not bound to require general building or trade/subcontractors to be registered
in the Prequalification System as a prerequisite to tendering, or to accept a tender from a
prequalified general building contractor or subcontractor in preference to a nonprequalified general building contractor or subcontractor.
1.2.3 Employment of Ex-Government Employees
A set of principles has been announced by the State, with regard to the employment of exGovernment employees by contractors providing services to the Government.
The State will not accept the services of any person who, either directly or through an
independent contractor or third party, within the last three years, has received a
separation package from the State under its various schemes where the service may
breach the conditions under which the separation package was paid to the former public
sector employee.
The tenderer should take these principles into account in preparing and submitting its
tender.
1.2.4 Buy Australian Made Procurement Policy
The State is committed to reducing the import content of Government procurement and
requires that contractors who provide services and products to the State buy Australian
products wherever possible.
1.2.5
Local Industry Participation Process
Consistent with the Australian Industry Participation National Framework, the State is
committed to maximising Australian industry participation to encourage greater
opportunities for local and regional suppliers. The tenderer must include in its tender
preference for goods and services of South Australian, Australian and New Zealand origin
that offer value for money over the life cycle of the project and must demonstrate how the
tender maximises the use of local sources of goods and services that support the
economy of South Australia.
The tenderer may use the confidential services of the Industry Capability Network South
Australia to identify ways of determining local industry capabilities for import replacement
and local industry participation opportunities. The contact details are as follows:

South Australian Industry Participation Policy
A key objective of the South Australian Industry Participation Policy (IPP) is to ensure that
capable South Australian small and medium enterprises are given full, fair and reasonable
opportunity to tender and participate in significant public and private sector projects.
Select one of the following options as applicable.
The contract for which this tender is being prepared falls within the scope of the IPP.
Tenderers are requested to complete an “IPP (Standard) Plan” in the form and including
the information indicated in the IPP (Standard) Plan Template provided with the tender
documents. Each tenderer should submit its completed IPP (Standard) Plan with its
tender but as a separate document.
Completion of an IPP (Standard) Plan is voluntary for this project. However, tenderers
that do not submit a compliant plan will receive zero for IPP weighted criteria (see clause
Error! Reference source not found. Error! Reference source not found. of these
Conditions of Tendering).
The successful tenderer’s IPP plan commitments will be included within the contract.
The contract for which this tender is being prepared falls within the scope of the IPP. As a
mandatory requirement in relation to the IPP, the tenderer is required to provide with its
tender an “IPP (Standard) Plan” in the form and including the information indicated in the
IPP (Standard) Plan Template provided with the tender documents. Each tenderer should
submit its completed IPP (Standard) Plan with its tender but as a separate document.
Failure to submit an IPP plan or submitting a non-compliant IPP plan may result in the
tender being excluded from the tender evaluation.
The successful tenderer’s IPP plan commitments will be included within the contract.
The contract for which this tender is being prepared falls within the scope of the IPP. As a
mandatory requirement in relation to the IPP, the tenderer is required to provide with its
tender a detailed “IPP (Tailored) Plan” in the form and including the information indicated
in the IPP (Tailored) Plan Template provided with the tender documents. Each tenderer
should submit its detailed IPP (Tailored) Plan with its tender but as a separate document.
There are additional requirements including notifying local suppliers of those
opportunities.
Failure to submit an IPP plan or submitting a non-compliant IPP plan may result in the
tender being excluded from the tender evaluation.
The successful tenderer’s IPP plan commitments will be included within the contract.
Evaluation
IPP plans will be received by the Principal with the tender submission.
The Office of the Industry Advocate (OIA) will assist the Principal in the assessment of the
IPP plans. The assessment criteria may vary depending on the nature of the contract.
Reporting
Successful tenders will be required to report on the IPP plan commitments as a
contractual obligation.
Failure by successful tenderers to comply in whole or in part with the IPP plan and the
commitment in the IPP plan, may be a factor taken into account in the award of future
contracts for the Government of South Australia, and may be considered a breach of
contractual agreements.
Office of the Industry Advocate
All tenderers are encouraged to contact and work with the OIA to complete their IPP
plans. The OIA can assist tenderers to prepare the IPP plans by providing capability
information on local suppliers, however ownership of each plan and responsibility to
deliver against it remain with the tenderer.

Tenderers are expected to inform themselves about the South Australian Industry
Participation Policy and guidance to maximise compliance. The Policy is available at
http://www.dpc.sa.gov.au/office-industry-advocate.
1.2.7 Environmental Care
If selected, the tenderer will be expected to model appropriate environmental care which
involves the conservation of resources and raw material, priority to value-added products
and services, energy efficiency, production of multiple use products, use of recycled
materials, and reduction of both waste and waste disposal costs. The tenderer is
encouraged to factor into the tender products and processes with due regard for
environmental considerations and may be requested to provide evidence of environmental
management systems and processes.
1.2.8 Work Health and Safety
If selected, the tenderer will be required to comply with all relevant laws including without
limitation, requirements of the Work Health and Safety Act 2012. The tenderer may be
requested to provide evidence of safety management records and systems.
1.2.9 Disclosure of Government Contracts
The State will require any contract arising from this procurement process, to include an
acknowledgement that the State may disclose and publish the contract in full, and any
extract of information about the contract, to interested persons or publicly, in accordance
with the State’s policy for the time being in respect of disclosure of government contracts.
The State’s current policy is set out in Premier and Cabinet Circular PC027, a copy of
which is appended or the text of which can be accessed at http://dpc.sa.gov.au/premierand-cabinet-circulars.
1.2.10 Workforce Participation and Skills Development
The State has a policy of ensuring the increased employment of people such as
Aboriginal persons*, Trainees and Apprentices*, Local Persons with Barriers to
Employment* and the upskilling of people involved on government building and civil
construction contracts in South Australia.
If any contract arising from this procurement process has a Contract Value* of more than
$150,000, the State will require the Contractor to be subject to obligations relating to the
employment of people in the Target Group* and the upskilling of people engaged directly
in connection with the performance of the contract. The requirements that will apply to the
successful tenderer will be determined by the contract value tier that the contract falls
within (and whether or not the Contract Duration* is six months or more) and may include
a requirement to meet targets and to report on performance.
A key requirement for contracts with a value of $5,000,000 or more is that the Contractor
must ensure that the number of on-site hours performed by people in the Target Group*
(engaged by either the Contractor or its subcontractors) plus the number of hours of
upskilling provided to people who have been engaged directly in connection with the
performance of the contract (either by the Contractor or its subcontractors) is no less than
15% of the “Total Contract Hours”*.
For this purpose, the Total Contract Hours* will generally be calculated using a formula –
Refer to clause 18A of GC21 (Edition 1 as amended) General Conditions of Contract
which sets out the formula. The Workforce Participation in Government Construction
Procurement Implementation Guidelines for Contractors and Contracting Agencies which
can be accessed at http://www.dpti.sa.gov.au/wpgcp provides details about how the
formula was developed.1
*Refer to Clause 18A of GC21 (Edition 1 as amended) General Conditions of Contract for
the definitions of “Contract Duration”, “Contract Value”, “Target Group”, “Total Contract
Hours” as well as other capitalised terms used in this clause and not otherwise defined in
these Conditions of Tendering.
1.3

Evaluation of Tenders
EVALUATION
3.1.1 Short Listing
Any short listing of tenderers, or notification to a tenderer that the tenderer is the preferred
tenderer will only constitute an invitation to participate in negotiations, not an acceptance
of the tender.
3.1.2 Tender Evaluation Panel
The evaluation panel, generally including but not necessarily limited to representatives
from DPTI, Name Project Lead Agency and the professional service contractors will
conduct an evaluation of tenders received and make recommendations for the awarding
of the contract.
3.1.3 Evaluation Process
The evaluation process and selection criteria have been developed to ensure there is
confidence that the Contractor most capable of meeting the project objectives, delivering
the project within the specified time and available budget and working collaboratively is
recommended as the preferred tenderer.

The evaluation process set out in the DPTI guide note ‘Value Selection of Construction
Tenders (G13) (which can be downloaded from the Building Project Information
Management System (BPIMS) Project Library) will be used by the tender evaluation
panel.
Initially the tender evaluation panel will determine that:
(a)
the tenderer is registered in the required prequalification category;
(b)
the tenderer has complied with the requirements set out in the tender documents
relating to the South Australian Industry Participation Policy;
(c)
there is evidence that the tenderer is accredited under the Australian Government
Building and Construction OHS Accreditation Scheme;
(d)
the tenderer has submitted the Declaration of Compliance with the Building Code
2013;
(e)
the tender conforms with Statutory Declaration requirements;
(f)
there has been compliance with the Code of Practice; and
(g)
a fully completed, correct tender form has been submitted.
The price shall be the conforming tender submitted by the tenderer. Sub-criteria for price
are generally tender sum (scored lowest to highest) and price risk (scored relative to a
price benchmark).
Tenderers are advised that relative weighting of Price, Performance and Non-Price is as
follows:
(i)
Non-Price: up to xx%
(ii)
Performance (DPTI prequalification score): up to xx%
The Prequalification System Registrar will provide the tenderer’s Prequalification
System performance score for the specified category to the Tender Evaluation
Panel. DPTI maintains a database in support of the Prequalification System. The
data base records the scores of performance reports submitted by contractors at
the time of application for registration and performance reports prepared by DPTI
three months after practical completion of DPTI projects. The data base supports
preparation of a report indicating the current average of performance scores, out of
10, for all projects completed less than four (4) years prior to the last date of
application for registration, and since, up to the date of tender close. The score
will only include projects for the specified category of the tendered project. If the
Prequalification System average score in the category is less than 5
(unsatisfactory) a score of 0 will be used in the matrix.
(iii)
South Australian Industry Participation Policy Requirements: 5%
Compliance with the IPP requirements, including assessment of an IPP plan will
be evaluated with the assistance of the Office of the Industry Advocate (OIA).
Consideration may also be given to the tenderer’s compliance, in whole or in part,
with the IPP requirements and any relevant IPP plan in relation to previous
contracts for the Government of South Australia.
If clause Error! Reference source not found. states that completion of an IPP
plan is voluntary, tenderers that do not submit a compliant plan will receive zero for
this criterion.
(iv)
Price: up to xx%
to a maximum of 100%.
The first step in the tender evaluation process will be to provide each compliant tenderer
an opportunity to present its tender to the evaluation panel.
The panel will then evaluate in detail the submitted tenders against the non-price criteria
stated in the Conditions of Tendering with the separately submitted tender price and
preliminaries schedule being unknown to the panel. Note that the DPTI Prequalification
System Registrar will provide each tenderer’s DPTI Prequalification System performance
score to the evaluation panel.
At the conclusion of the evaluation of non-price criteria, the price and preliminaries
schedule will be considered to determine the two (2) tenderers considered to be offering
best value.
Each of the two short-listed tenderers will be invited to participate in a selection workshop
The purpose of the workshop is to make further assessment of the capabilities of the
combined team in regard to the selection criteria and to commence the process of building
a collaborative approach and team commitment to the project. The workshops will be with
key personnel selected from the entire project team.
Following the workshops, the evaluation panel will determine the initially preferred
tenderer to be invited to participate in a commercial workshop to discuss and agree:
A
tender qualifications;
B
contract conditions;
C
innovation and possible incentive arrangements; and
D
commercial aspects.
If the negotiation with the initially preferred tenderer is not successful, negotiation will
commence with the tenderer ranked second.
While acknowledging that value for money is the core principle underpinning decisions on
Government procurement, tenderers should note that when assessing tenders, preference
may be given to Tenders that demonstrate a commitment to:

adding and/or retaining trainees and apprentices;

increasing the participation of women in all aspects of the industry; or

promoting employment and training opportunities for Indigenous Australians in
regions where significant indigenous populations exist.
At the conclusion of the evaluation process the tender evaluation panel will recommend
the preferred tenderer for acceptance.
The proposed timetable for the selection process is below. The tender evaluation panel
will use its best endeavours to maintain this timetable but the Principal reserves the right
to amend, change and alter the timetable or sequence of events without notice to the
tenderers.

3.1.4 Alternative Proposals Evaluation
The acceptance of any alternative proposal may change the relativity of tenders, therefore
all alternative proposals submitted by tenderers will be evaluated as part of the tender
evaluation process to determine the preferred tenderer.
Generally the alternative proposals listed below will not be considered by the tender
selection panel:
(a)
alternatives that are inconsistent with the lead agency brief and objectives for the
project;
(b)
alternatives with insufficient detail resulting in the tender selection panel being
unable to make an assessment without further reference to the tenderer;
(c)
alternatives that are not priced; and
(d)
alternatives priced with qualification.
At the conclusion of the assessment of alternative proposals, the tender selection panel
will agree those that represent value to the State and are acceptable. The price
adjustment for acceptable alternative proposals will be factored into the relevant tender
price to produce a revised tender price, which will be used in the process of tender
evaluation.
3.1.5 State’s Alternative Proposals
At the completion of the assessment of alternative proposals and the evaluation of tenders
to determine a preferred tender, the State may request the preferred tenderer to price the
State’s alternative proposals.
The preferred tenderer will provide sufficient detail and a price without qualification such
that the State is able to make a decision to implement or otherwise the State’s alternative
proposal.
3.1.6 Acceptance of Tender
The State is not bound to accept the lowest or any tender.
A tender shall not be deemed to have been accepted unless and until notice in writing of
acceptance of the tender is received by the tenderer or is delivered to the address of the
tenderer stated on the Tender Form.
Unless a Contract Agreement is executed by the Parties the agreement in writing between
the Parties for execution of work under Contract including documents or parts of
documents to which reference may properly be made to ascertain the rights and
obligations of the Parties, shall evidence the Contract.
In accordance with Clause 7 of the GC21 (Edition 1 as amended) General Conditions of
Contract, a Deed of Contract Agreement is required. Should the successful tenderer be a
corporation, the Deed of Contract Agreement shall be executed under seal.
