Details

The existing roof has reached the end of its serviceable life and has experienced water ingress at the two valleys on the southern side. To minimise the risk of further deterioration and allow the broader refurbishment works to proceed, TCHHS is undertaking a standalone roof replacement package in advance of the internal refurbishment works.

The project will provide a complete replacement of the existing roofing system, associated rainwater goods and nominated ancillary components while maintaining the integrity of the facility and ensuring the completed roof provides a durable, compliant and weatherproof asset suitable for the tropical conditions of Far North Queensland.

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.
