Responsible Agencies, in consultation with NSW Treasury, should ensure tender evaluation members have the appropriate technical skills. In addition, evaluation team members should either be experienced in tender evaluations or be provided with appropriate guidance and training prior to the tender evaluation process being commenced, or if involved, prior to the interactive tender process commencing. All tender evaluation team members should be briefed on the tender evaluation plans and probity requirements prior to commencing the tender evaluation. Responsible Agencies should contact NSW Treasury for template evaluation plans. Members of specialist sub-panels or teams should have a high level of knowledge and expertise in the relevant specialist subject matter.
