Market Notification and Request for Information – printing of election materials
The AEC is issuing this Market Notification and Request for Information to the open market to:
- provide notice of its intent to release a Request for Tender (RFT) to the open market for printing of election materials;
- provide high level information about the RFT, including conditions for participation; and
- seek input from potential tenderers about their interest and capacity to supply the services. The AEC expects to use this information to refine its RFT statement of requirements.
Following a subsequent Request for Tender process, the AEC expects to engage the services of multiple suppliers to produce, print and package high quality election materials in accordance with strict, legislated formats and timeframes to support the AEC’s delivery of electoral events.
Potential tenderers are asked to:
- review the enclosed information;
- request clarifying information from the AEC, if required, prior to the enquiry deadline; and
- complete and submit Schedule 1 (see separate word document) to indicate their capacity to supply the services and participate in a subsequent open RFT process.
N/A
Following this process, the AEC expects to release an open RFT in Quarter 1 of 2020/21 and enter into contracts with successful tenderers in October 2020.
Contracts are expected to have an initial term of three years. It is expected that there will be extension options not exceeding six years in total.
