Responsible Agencies, in consultation with NSW Treasury, should ensure tender evaluation team members have the appropriate experience. Tender evaluation team members should either be experienced in tender evaluations or should be provided with appropriate guidance and training prior to commencement of the Interactive Tender Process (where applicable) and tender evaluation process.
Responsible Agencies should contact NSW Treasury for template tender evaluation plans. All tender evaluation team members should be briefed on the tender evaluation plans and probity requirements prior to commencing the tender evaluation. Members of specialist sub-panels or teams should have a high level of knowledge and expertise in the relevant specialist subject matter.
