Prequalification – Construction / Non-Construction
All suppliers wishing to provide onsite services for GMW must complete a prequalification OH&S checklist.
All service work will be assessed internally and defined as either construction or non-construction work. Once prequalified, suppliers are eligible to receive GMW's Invitations to Supply that will be released at certain times for various services.
For more information, please contact your nearest GMW office or call 1800 013 357
Please note: Although a supplier may be prequalified with GMW, this prequalification does not automatically extend to tender applications. Department of Treasury and Finance mandates that the supplier must complete the OH&S requirements within each specific tender.
Prequalification for non tendered works and services will be valid for 3 years from date of prequalification.
