Details
CQU is inviting suitably qualified and experienced contractors to submit a tender offer for the design and construction of its New Cairns Campus.

The project has been developing since 2018 and a portion of the funding has been approved for the design effort.

CQU is deploying a Project Manager and support team towards this activity to ensure thorough engagement with stakeholders and contractor representatives as well as to appropriately represent the interests of the University as the Principal. The Project Manager will be the nominated Superintendent/Superintendent’s Representative.

Question:
Good morning,

Could you please confirm whether this tender is primarily for construction, led by a contractor, or if you are seeking an architect to act as the Principal Design Consultant? The brief outlines a significant design scope, but there is no reference to architecture within the subconsultant disciplines.

Additionally, could you advise if there is an incumbent architect previously engaged on the project?

Kind Regards

Question:
Our Design team would like to engage with potential contractors. Is it possible to identify them, perhaps at the site visit?

Answered on 16/Jun/2025 11:55 AM:


While we are not in a position to provide contractors details, Tenderers are certainly welcome to RSVP and attend the virtual meeting for CQURFQ-25-14-DFM - CNS New Campus Design & Construct Project.


Please note that the intent is to deliver the entire project as a design and construct contract rather than in packages. It is ultimately the responsibility of the head contractor to subcontract / split into packages where suitable.
