Thank you for your confirmation

Question:
While reviewing the tender documentation, it was noted that the mandatory supplier briefing session is scheduled to be held at 300 Herston Road, Herston QLD 4006 on Tuesday, 28 July 2026. As attendance at this briefing is a mandatory requirement for submitting a tender, I would like to enquire whether an online attendance option is available. If so, when and will there be a link sent?

Hi Chris

The onsite visit is a mandatory requirement, we believe this is necessary to enable suppliers to gain a full understanding of the site and any potential challenges that maybe presented.

Kind regards

Question:
Dear Team,

We only became aware of this tender over the weekend and saw today that a mandatory on-site briefing is scheduled for 28 July.

Unfortunately, our managers and engineers are fully committed this week and are unable to attend the briefing in person. We would like to ask whether it would be possible to receive the briefing materials via email, or alternatively, arrange a separate briefing or site visit sometime next week.

We would greatly appreciate your consideration and look forward to your response.

Kind regards,

Thank you for your enquiry, I'm confirming we will run another walk through and will provide an update on times and dates tomorrow.

Question:
Hello, can you please supply proper layout drawing of the site - room’s layout in dwg or pdf with all the available dimensions.

Answered on 28/Jul/2026 12:21 PM:


We will provide drawings for Level 14 by the end of Wednesday 29th August.

Question:
Hello,

I have another request from the vendor for an extension.

With this level of project complexity and without any DWG drawings, it is practically impossible to properly support you within such a short time.

We are talking about sterilization equipment where we absolutely need to understand the exact installation layout and room configuration, supported by proper DWG drawings and technical details of the site.



Without this information, we are unfortunately not able to properly verify the proposed configuration, utilities, loading/unloading logistics, service accessibility, door orientation, or potential installation constraints.

Is it possible to get extension on the tender.

Answered on 28/Jul/2026 12:20 PM:


Hi Frances thank you for your message. I can confirm we will supply drawings within the next 24 hours. While I can't guarantee an extension will be granted I recommend making a request for the required date, it will be reviewed by the Project Team and accepted or rejected. I hope this helps.

Question:
Hi all,

after briefing the initial tender document, I scheduled a 10am site visit Tuesday 28th July as noted mandatory and sign in at reception to register attendance.

Further detailed viewing of the document today in scheduled office time has made me aware there was an RSVP for this.

Is it still possible to attend this scheduled site visit tomorrow?

Answered on 27/Jul/2026 03:29 PM:


Thank you for your enquiry, yes we will accept your enquiry as the RSVP even though post the required date.

Question:
Good morning,

Due to illness, I am unable to attend today's session. I noticed in a previous response that a second session will be held in the near future. Is that upcoming session open to everyone?

Answered on 28/Jul/2026 08:58 AM:


Hi Darren - that's no problem you will be able to attend another event, I'll provide an update today through vendor panel.

Question:
Hi,
