NWTD Expression of Interest issued for Head Contractor

Thank you to the many contractors that registered their interest in TasNetworks’ North West Transmission Developments (NWTD) project. A formal Expression of Interest (EOI) has now been issued to eight proponents. The purpose of the EOI is to shortlist proponents for invitation to the final procurement stage - Request For Proposals (RFP).

TasNetworks is looking to appoint a single Head Contractor that possesses and demonstrates strong capability, resources and experience to deliver the scope of works to the satisfaction of TasNetworks.

The successful Head Contractor will be supported and encouraged to engage local contractors and suppliers in order to maximise spend and employment in the region, and in Tasmania generally.

The NWTD project is subject to final investment decision (FID), currently scheduled for December 2024. It is anticipated that main construction activities will commence in early 2025, following FID approval.
