Temporary and Contracted Workers Preferred Supplier Panel - Targeted Refresh

Queensland Government Procurement, Department of Housing and Public Works (DHPW) has issued this Invitation to Apply (ITA) seeking Applications for a targeted refresh of the whole-of-Government GGS0060 – Temporary and Contracted Workers Preferred Supplier Panel (PSP).

Suppliers who are currently appointed to the GGS0060 PSP should note that this refresh does NOT require any actions from them as this is an opportunity for NEW suppliers to join the PSP.

The key objectives of this refresh are to:

- align the composition of the existing PSP with the objectives of the Queensland Procurement Policy 2026, particularly the application of purposeful public procurement outcomes to significant procurement activities undertaken by government customers (Rule 20)

- increase representation of diverse supplier types that are currently underrepresented on the PSP, including:

* Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Businesses (with a physical office location in Queensland)

* Social Enterprises (with a physical office location in Queensland)

* Queensland Regional Businesses

* Veteran-owned and operated Queensland businesses

- support local economic benefit for Queensland when securing value for money

- provide customers with greater choice through the inclusion of quality suppliers offering competitive pricing.

Accordingly, this refresh is specifically targeted at diverse supplier types that are currently underrepresented on the PSP and that can demonstrate the capability, capacity, experience and ability to deliver value for money in one or more service categories.

Given the PSP will expire on 29 May 2028, and the Principal expects to commence planning for the next open market process within the next 18 months, this refresh has been intentionally limited to those identified diverse supplier cohorts. This targeted approach is intended to ensure the refresh is proportionate and aligned with the objectives of the Queensland Procurement Policy 2026, while also avoiding unnecessary tendering costs and effort for suppliers who may otherwise invest significant time and resources in seeking appointment to the current PSP for a relatively limited remaining term.

For full details, please refer to Part A: Invitation to Apply, including:

- in scope services (section 2)

- out of scope services (section 3)

- assessment criteria – mandatory and other (section 8.1).
