TasNetworks Preferred Delivery Partner Model

The Expression of Interest for the Delivery Partner closed on 14 February, with five interested parties submitting responses. The evaluation process was completed in March, and we were pleased to shortlist two suppliers to progress to the Request for Proposal (RFP) stage.

Since then, we have held multiple collaboration sessions with the shortlisted suppliers to finalise the project scope, performance management, and efficiency targets, all aimed at delivering the best value to our customers. This process has taken longer than initially anticipated. TasNetworks has not previously tendered for a single delivery partner for the regulated program of work and anticipate the new approach will realise a beneficial outcome for our enterprise, customers, and the community.

We are pleased to announce that the RFP was officially released to the two shortlisted suppliers on 15 September. As we embark on the final stage of determining our preferred partner, we are committed to securing the best outcome and partner to deliver our program safely and with high quality.
