Consultants for engineering projects

A note to all users 

The option for prequalified engineering consultants to hold Queensland Government second party quality assurance certification has been removed from the consultant prequalification system on advice from the Queensland Government Chief Procurement Office (QGCPO).

The Manual Consultants for Engineering Projects, Information Brochure (C7511) and Application Form (C7512) have been updated to reflect this change.

The Consultants for Engineering Projects manual addresses the specific requirements for consultants on engineering projects.

It includes the engineering consultant prequalification system. This system also allows for non-prequalified consultants.

The manual provides guidance on:

• Prequalification of engineering consultants
• Invitation requirements (prequalified and non-prequalified consultants)
• Offer evaluation
• Award process
• Contract management
• Performance reporting

The manual consists of 10 chapters supplied in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. The supporting forms are supplied in Adobe Acrobat PDF and/or Microsoft Word format. The Microsoft Word versions may be filled in electronically.
