As part of the procurement process, CHW is seeking engagement from the market to better inform the tender process by obtaining feedback on the intended procurement process.

This includes:

• Length of the tender process.
• Major challenges and opportunities during the construction of the embankment work.
• Challenges of working on a live dam noting water will be maintained at reduced levels for construction.
• A safe workplace is imperative to CHW, we would like to understand the initiatives and opportunities that could be implemented to improves the safety of the works.
• Understand what site access is required during the tender period (whilst CHW Operates the White Swan Reservoir, a private Operator operates the pumping station on the downstream side of the main embankment).
• Any innovation opportunities that could be implemented to reduce the duration or cost of the construction works.
• Identify the challenges of undertaking this work in a regional environment, and how those challenges may be overcome.
• Additional requirements to support the tenderer's due diligence/tender process and to identify any other suggestions for a successful tender, and any concerns, or suggestions which may improve or impact the procurement process.
