1.OVERVIEW

The University of South Australia, TheUniversity of Adelaide and FlindersUniversityformed a partnership in 2003 to develop a Registration of Interest process for General Building Contractor Services, Category 4.

This joint partnership are now seeking registrations of interest from suitably qualified General Building Contractors – Category 4, including sole practitioners, to provide contractor building and maintenance services for various Capital Works and Maintenance Programs across all the Universities Campuses in Stage 2 of this process.

Selected Contractor organisations will be included on a formal General Building Contractors Register from which the Universities will appoint contractors for each project as it is initiated whilst ensuring tender protocols are adhered to.

All General Building Contractors – Category 4, currently listed on this register are obliged to ensure that information held by the Universities as part of the Registration of Interest is current which may require your organisation to complete a new Registration Brief if considerable changes have occurred since your last application.

General Building Contractors – Category 4 are invited to lodge their registration of interest against the requirements, terms and conditions specified within this document, The Registration Brief.

The Registration Brief sets out the nature of services sought, the selection criteria and process for inclusion on the General Building Contractors Register and what is expected to be included in each registration.

The Universities are seeking comprehensive registrations that respond in detail to the request for information outlined in this Brief. Inclusion on the General Building Contractors Registers shall be based solely on the submitted registration.

4.PROCUREMENT STRATEGY

Each time an organisation is engaged by the Universities, the terms and conditions of engagement may include and not be limited to:

  • A Tender, or by Tender and invitation to prepare a proposal in line with Tender Protocols.
  • An invitation to prepare a proposal based on the specific brief and requirements of the project.
  • ABIC-SW1 2002 “Simple Works Contract”, Australian Standard – AS4305 1996 “Minor Works Contract” or AS 4000 – 1997 “General Conditions of Contract” or University of Adelaide Minor Works Contract or equivalent, depending on Procurement process or strategy adopted.
  • Particular requirements such as assigned personnel, consultant team and quality assurance plans.

Typically a lump sum tender process may be adopted, however each University reserves the right to apply alternative strategies to the construction procurement processes at any phase of the project.

The Universities are keen to foster co-operative and collaborative approaches in construction procurement. Entwined with such approaches is the notion of pro-active team building and practices of fairness, trust, equity, effective communication and commitment. Collaborative practices include clearer acknowledgement of the objectives and goals of all parties involved in the project and speedy resolution of issues and disputes at all levels of the project. Such co-operative and collaborative practices foster best practice project performance and overall project satisfaction for all project parties and stakeholders.

5.THE PROCESS

The Registration of Interest process was established to:

  • Attract as wide a cross-section of General Building Contractors – Category 4 as possible.
  • Expand the number of suitable contractors to meet the projected increased works program.
  • Limit the number of General Building Contractors – Category 4 to a maximum of 50.
  • Ensure the most suitable contractors are available for selection by the Universities to assist in the delivery of projects and programs.
  • Provide an opportunity for new contractors to be included on the General Building Contractors Register.
  • Provide an open and transparent process of registration.

The process for registration includes the following steps:

  • Issue a letter to all General Building Contractors – Category 4 included on the current register advising them of the opportunity to update their registration details and provide additional Organisational Information to support their registration if they wish to be eligible for possible selection as a General Building Contractor – Category 4 for future projects and programs.
  • Invite interested parties or nominated organisations to participate in Stage 2 of the Registration of Interest process.
