Details

Walcha Council is seeking proposals through a reverse brief process, to provide GIS services for the establishment and ongoing maintenance of its ArcGIS software platform.

Background information / Compatibility requirements

Council previously utilised IntraMaps as its GIS platform, however a decision was made approximately 18 months ago to transition to ArcGIS. Since this time, the relevant staff have moved on from the organisation and the transition project has stalled. Initial work has resulted in a rudimentary GIS environment that does not meet Council’s operational needs.

Desired:

1. Multi-phase Road Map

2. Detailed Phase Map

3. Standards for Asset Coding

4. Best Practices for New Datasets

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this it & telecom 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.
