Tamworth Regional Council is a local government area in the New England region of New South Wales, Australia. The area under administration is located adjacent to the New England Highway and the Main North railway line. It was established in March 2004 through the amalgamation of the former City of Tamworth with surrounding shires of Barraba, Manilla, Nundle and Parry.

The buyer has elected to have their personal and contact details hidden. These details will be revealed at the buyers discretion.

Tamworth Regional Council is seeking to establish a panel of suitably qualified contractors to provide sport and recreation grounds maintenance and vegetation management services across Council facilities throughout the Tamworth Regional Local Government Area. Services may include mowing, brush cutting, edging, vegetation trimming, herbicide application, weed control, event preparation, general grounds maintenance and associated labour and plant services.

The panel arrangement will operate for an initial term of twelve (12) months and will remain open to new contractors throughout the contract term. Contractors may apply for Grounds Maintenance Services, Chemical Application Services, or both service categories.

There is no guarantee of any minimum volume, frequency or value of work. Work will be allocated at Council's discretion based on factors including availability, capability, performance, response times, experience and value for money.

Contractors must demonstrate the capability, experience, personnel, plant and equipment necessary to undertake grounds maintenance and vegetation management services.

Mandatory submission requirements include:

- Public Liability Insurance with a minimum cover of $20 million.

- Workers Compensation Insurance.

- Work Health and Safety (WHS) Management Plan or WHS Management System.

- Relevant Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS).

- Risk assessment templates or risk management procedures.

- Incident reporting procedures.

- Relevant qualifications, licences, permits and accreditations for chemical application services (where applicable).

Contractors must maintain all required insurances, licences, qualifications and compliance documentation for the duration of the contract. All personnel must be appropriately trained and competent in the operation of plant and equipment used in connection with the services.

Where chemical application services are offered, contractors must comply with all legislative requirements relating to the storage, transport, handling, mixing, application and disposal of chemicals and must obtain Council approval prior to the use of any chemical products.

Council seeks to establish a responsive panel of reliable contractors capable of providing high-quality grounds maintenance and vegetation management services across sport and recreation facilities.

Preferred outcomes include:

- Experienced contractors with demonstrated capability in grounds maintenance and vegetation management.

- Ability to respond to planned and reactive maintenance requests within agreed timeframes.

- Strong commitment to workplace health and safety and environmental compliance.

- Well-maintained and appropriate plant and equipment.

- Accurate and transparent invoicing supported by relevant documentation where required.

- Professional conduct when interacting with Council staff and members of the public.

- Capacity to service multiple locations across the Tamworth Regional Local Government Area.

- Competitive schedule-of-rates pricing that provides value for money.

- Contractors able to provide both grounds maintenance and chemical application services.

Council may monitor contractor performance throughout the contract term, including quality of work, responsiveness, compliance, safety performance and invoicing accuracy. Continued participation on the panel will be dependent upon maintaining compliance and satisfactory performance.
