Details

As part of the Pacific Maritime Security Program, the Tuvalu Police Service (TPS) has been gifted a Guardian-class Patrol Boat (GPB), HMTSS Te Maitali III . The vessel is usually berthed within Funafuti Lagoon. TPS seeks the acquisition of two dedicated mooring buoys, in: - Funafuti Lagoon, as a secondary berthing location for the GPB when its main berth is occupied; and - Nanumea, Tuvalu's northernmost island, which is a key forward operating point. The Australian Department of Defence seeks to procure the design, supply, delivery, installation, testing and commissioning of two permanent mooring buoy systems in Tuvalu.

Before you bid on this tender

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