Network Safeworking Services Panel

Queensland Rail is seeking suitably qualified and experienced suppliers for the establishment of a Network Safeworking Services Panel to provide safeworking personnel across the Queensland Rail network. The new Panel is intended to replace the existing arrangement, which expires at the end of October 2027, with the new arrangement expected to commence following expiry of the existing Panel.

Services may include Rail Corridor Protection Officers (RCPOs), Lookouts, Handsignallers, Protection Officers (POs), Protection Officers Plus (PO+) and Possession Protection Officers (PPOs). Suppliers must ensure personnel hold and maintain the applicable competencies, accreditations and requirements relevant to the services being performed.
