Task Description

You must ensure that your tender document is consistent with all of the Australian standards referred to in this unit.

Should you wish to use a tender template from the organisation you work for then you may do so. However, you must ensure that all of the ten items in the task definition below are included in your tender.

You must obtain the agreement from your lecturer and unit coordinator that the subject project scope of your tender is suitable for this unit.

Further information is available on the Moodle site.

TASK

Your task is to consider the contents of the unit and apply it to a tender request. Your tender must do the following:

  1. Define the project in the context of mining, plant, or a large asset;
  2. Explain the project justification and contract process;
  3. Explain the financing of the project;
  4. Identify the project conditions, project team and project processes required;
  5. Provide your expected estimates to the tenderer for the project labour, plant, materials, and sub-contractors;
  6. Provide your requirements for project changes;
  7. Provide your requirements for quality assurance and quality control;
  8. Provide your requirements for document management, reporting and governance;
  9. Provide your requirements for disputes, arbitration and mediation;
  10. Provide your requirements for safety.

PURPOSE

The primary purpose of this assessment item is to help you to develop skills for expressing the manner in which a principal normally engages with contractors through a tendering process. The secondary purpose of this assignment is to give you the opportunity to enhance your analysis, critical thinking and written communication skills; particularly in the areas of argument development and tender writing.

STRUCTURE

Your tender should be as much as practically possible a properly constructed tender. However, you must also apply the rigours of an academic essay. Therefore, you must include references within your tender and a reference list formatted in the prescribed style is compulsory at the end of your tender. Do not include a bibliography.

SUBMISSION

You are strongly encouraged to discuss your ideas with your business and student colleagues on the unit discussion forum, before drawing your conclusions and submitting your assignment.

The file submitted must be a Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) document.

Submit a copy of your essay online through the unit website on Moodle.

ASSIGNMENT SIZE AND REFERENCING CRITERIA

There is NO word limit for this assignment as each project selected will differ and the amount of documentation in a tender can differ; however it is hoped that your assignment will be concise. You are encouraged to take advantage of referencing as a means of limiting the number of words in the assignment. When you are incorporating many of the sections from the Assessment Criteria below you can refer to the text contained in the relevant standard. For example, using the assessment criteria below you can put for 1.3.1.9 -“Closing of tenders – tender closing will conform to AS 4120-1994 section 6.4 p.9”. If you have used a tender as a template that you have taken from your company then you may have different words that make it harder to align to the standards. You should then look through your tender template and whenever possible add a comment, such as – “this section is similar to AS 4120-1994 section 6.4 p.9”. Ensuring you have accurate references is important and will allow the marker to easily identify where your tender maps to the unit material. As a consequence you will be able to gain the MAXIMUM MARKS.
