A public tender process will be used to select appropriate Australian
Implementing Partners (AIPs) for each of the projects, unless otherwise
specified in the Project Design Documents. At least ten Program Stream
projects will be tendered in three groups phased over the first two years
of the Program.
Step 1 |
Cardno Acil will place advertisements in The Australian
newspaper and on relevant websites inviting registration of interest. |
Step 2 |
Downloadable drafts of the relevant Project Design Documents will
be available in Adobe Acrobat *pdf format at the time of advertising. |
Step 3 |
Potential bidders should register with Cardno Acil their interest
in receiving the tender documents following directions given in the
advertisement. |
Step 4 |
Parties who express interest will be listed publicly on the Cardno
Acil and ASEC/AADCP websites to encourage links between Australian
and ASEAN parties. |
Step 5 |
Cardno Acil will distribute full tender documentation electronically
to all registered parties on a specified date, a minimum of four weeks
prior to bid submission date. |
Step 6
|
Cardno Acil will answer questions on tender documentation via email
to all registered parties. These written responses will constitute
part of the tender documentation. |
Step 7 |
Cardno Acil will appoint a Technical Assessment Panel (TAP) to assess,
score and rank the technical proposals. |
Step 8 |
Cardno Acil will open financial proposals and apply the formula
specified in the Request for Tender to weight the scores for financial
and technical proposals and then rank the bids overall. |
Step 9 |
Cardno Acil will inform all bidders of the outcome and offer an
opportunity for a verbal debriefing at a future date following finalisation
of the contract. |
Step 10 |
Cardno Acil will negotiate and sign the contract with the first-ranked
bidder who will become the Australian Implementing Partner. The Project
commences. |
