Are there guidelines on how Body Corporates should undertake tender processes for large (multi-million dollar) building works? – Giulio, NSW

Q: Are there published (local or national) government or industry body guidelines on how Body Corporates should undertake tender processes for large (multi-million dollar) building works? Specifically, activities that should be undertaken to demonstrate a process was followed to find and select an appropriate supplier to deliver a cost-effective and quality outcome for the unit owners. Thanks.

A: You may wish to utilise the NSW Government Construction guidelines for such due to the similar nature of the works:

As you will note, the process is quite complex, with many aspects consider. The best practice is to engage an industry professional, such as a building consultant, to assist the owners corporation with tendering.
