Details

The Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) established the Engineering and Trade Consulting Services Panel under procurement QBCC2026132 to support the Building and Technical Inspectorate's statutory inspection, investigation and regulatory functions.

During evaluation of the original procurement, specific service categories and geographic regions were identified where supplier coverage was insufficient to support operational requirements.

This Invitation to Offer is a targeted shortfall process designed to address those identified coverage gaps.

Appointments arising from this process will be incorporated into the existing Engineering and Trade Consulting Services Standing Offer Arrangement and governed by the existing Standing Offer Arrangement terms and conditions.

This process does not establish a new panel arrangement, alter the approved scope, or extend the term of the existing Standing Offer Arrangement.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this water & environment opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
