Responsible Agencies are to ensure EOI and RFP documentation is available electronically or via a virtual data room.
Responsible Agencies are required to receive EOI and RFP submissions electronically. Any exceptions for items such as drawings, are to be considered on a project by project basis, in consultation with NSW Treasury. Electronic submissions will fast track compliance checks and facilitate faster dissemination of information to the evaluation teams. Bid costs will be minimised because bidders will not need to produce costly multiple hard copy versions or produce costly "fly-throughs" where they are not required for evaluation purposes.
Premier's Memorandum 2006-11 NSW Procurement Reforms requires all agencies, other than SOCs, to make Request for Tender documents available and enable tenders to be lodged through the NSW Government eTendering system. This system is managed by NSW Department of Finance, Services and Innovation, through the eTendering website9. It also provides a mechanism for the receipt of tenders in electronic form, closing tenders, receiving late tenders, opening the tenders, the removal of tenders, publishing a list of tenderers, and publishing contract award information.
