All Centres - Supply of Chemicals for a Period of 36 Months

Power and Water Corporation (Power and Water, PWC, We, Our) is a government-owned multi-utility responsible for the transmission and distribution of electricity, and the provision of water and sewerage service across the Northern Territory, including major urban centers and remote communities. Throughout the Northern Territory, Power and Water uses a variety of chemicals for treatment and disinfection of water and wastewater. These sites comprise a combination of urban and remote locations, with differing transport requirements for each location. This Request for Tender (RFT) seeks to establish a panel contract with suitably qualified partners for the supply of chemicals over a 36-month term (with a potential extension of 2 x 12 months). Supply partners must demonstrate end to end supply chain capability, from the point of manufacture or supply through to the point of use at Power and Water facilities. This involves maintaining a documented chain of custody for all chemical products throughout transportation, storage, and delivery processes, ensuring complete traceability, product integrity, regulatory compliance, and security of supply. Suppliers are required to utilise appropriately licensed, compliant and suitably experienced transport and logistics providers for the handling and delivery of hazardous and non-hazardous chemicals. Tenderers must demonstrate their ability to manage the reliable, safe and timely delivery of chemicals to both urban and remote locations, including evidence of systems, controls and contingency arrangements that maintain continuity of supply. Power and Water welcome the establishment of longer term, strategic partnerships that create lasting relationships and deliver sustainable efficiencies, cost savings and continuous quality improvements. Suppliers are expected to demonstrate how value will be created through innovation, supply chain resilience, inventory management, risk mitigation, and proven experience supplying chemicals in a similar environment. Preference will be given to suppliers capable of providing transparent, accountable, and fully traceable supply chain solutions, with end-to-end visibility and documented chain of custody from point of origin through to the final point of use.
