• Management Services,

• Cleaning and Consumables,

• Grounds Maintenance,

• General Services including Pest Control, and

Any such information is required for capability assessment, risk evaluation, service integration considerations and future procurement planning purposes only and does not form part of the scope of services to be awarded under this RFT, which is limited to FM Soft Services unless expressly stated otherwise.

Hi Kharn

Thanks for your query.

It is up to individual businesses to determine if they wish to participate in the tender or not. Energy Queensland does not wish discourage participation, noting the statement below from our Background and Scope:

"Offers are sought from highly experienced Tenderers capable of providing and managing the full suite of FM Services across Energy Queensland’s statewide property footprint".

If you wish to register for the tender, please provide the details as requested in our notice on VendorPanel. Alternately, if you feel your potential offering does not match Energy Queensland’s needs, you may wish to speak with larger market players that could be considering this tender, to see if your capabilities can assist with their offer, and/or current and future needs.

Good morning,

I've tried to follow the request to apply and the way it says to do so only sends me to your about home page. Can you please update how to apply as a supplier please, or is it all done externally via Ariba?

Question:
We are a current registered supplier on SAP Ariba for other customers such as BCC.

However, we are not listed with Energy QLD.

How can we get on the supplier list for Energy QLD so that their FM Services suppliers can utilise us for services such as grounds maintenance, cleaning, pest control?

Answered on 21/May/2026 12:56 PM:


Hi Georgie

Thanks for your query.

Energy Queensland will not be onboarding any new service providers to our Facilities Management approved subcontractor list at this time.

Our FM Service Provider will be responsible for recruiting any additional subcontractors, which must be approved by the EQL Property team before engagement. Making direct contact with the successful tenderer on conclusion of this event, would be the best approach to becoming an approved subcontractor.

Regards
