Hi Dan

Under the attachments in this request (VP1447165) is the document RFQ-QPS28213 ISO9001 Recertification and Surveillance Audits.

On Page 4 in Attachment A - Specification is a Full list of QGAir Locations, Employee Numbers and Functions.

Question:
Hello there,

To ensure we can provide an accurate quotation for the transfer of your certification, as well as the subsequent re-certification and surveillance activities, we kindly request copies of your current certificates.

This is necessary because the transition from your existing Certification Body (CB) to a new CB must be conducted on a like-for-like basis. Specifically, we need to verify the exact scope and expiry details of your current certification to align our proposal accordingly and maintain continuity in compliance.

Your assistance in sharing these documents will be greatly appreciated and will help us move forward efficiently with our tender submission.

Hi Brooke

Certificate has been attached to the documents in the this activity.

You can also access our Queensland Government Air certification through: https://register.jasanz.org/certified-organisations

Question:
Hi,

Some questions below:

1. Will this opportunity be re-tendered every three years (ie, every re-certification cycle?)

2. Will QPS give weighting to certification bodies that can demonstrate local delivery capability in Queensland (including subcontractor/partner arrangements) to reduce travel disruption and support regional economic benefits?

3. Does QPS require all auditor profiles, including subcontracted partners, to be submitted with qualifications, aviation experience, and security/criminal history checks, so that suitability can be assessed upfront?

Regards

1. Yes

2. QPS will consider local delivery capability where it provides demonstrable value for money.

This may include:

Reduced travel costs and disruption through the use of Queensland-based audit staff or partners.

Improved responsiveness and accessibility of audit resources.

Support for regional economic activity through local service delivery.

This consideration will not be separately weighted but may be taken into account in the overall value for money assessment.

3. The RFQ requires suppliers to provide details of auditors’ qualifications and experience, including evidence of relevant aviation or government sector expertise. Profiles for all auditors, including subcontracted personnel, are not mandated at this stage. However, QPS reserves the right to request additional information or profiles of proposed auditors prior to contract award or during contract mobilisation, to ensure the audit team meets suitability, qualification, and security requirements.
