Tips and strategies to win more contracts in the Northern Territory
Focus on being local – A good comprehensive response with respect to local content is critical to securing any NT Government tender. You need to provide real, practical examples and evidence of how you support the local community. Think about it broadly, not only supporting local jobs and hiring apprentices, but also spending money on local suppliers.
You need to outline how awarding you the contract will deliver downstream economic benefits to the Darwin and Northern Territory economy as well as social benefits.
Focus on Indigenous – Your tender or bid needs to have an Indigenous flavour. You need to not only present an Aboriginal / Indigenous Participation Plan, but also talk about your track recording for supporting the local indigenous community. You can do this by:
- Covering Indigenous participation in Safety.
- Talking about how many indigenous personnel were involved in previous proposals.
- Talking about training and apprenticeships for Indigenous personnel in the training question.
- Talking about downstream social benefits for Indigenous organisations in the community questions.
- Listing potential Indigenous recruiters and job assistance organisations and how you plan to hire Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islanders and which recruiters you propose to use.
Provide in-depth detailed case studies – Nearly every RFP, RFT and RFI will ask you to detail your track record on previous experience. The key word is detail. Don’t just provide a description of the works you have completed. Take the time to:
- Outline which of your key personnel were involved and if they will be involved in the proposed project.
- Write about the challenges encountered in the particularly project and how you worked to overcome them.
- Talk about what you did in the project that was innovative or different For example, did you use any specialist equipment or expertise to deliver the project or service quicker or to a higher quality level.
- Detail your safety track record for the project if applicable.
- Include any quality review scores providing by the respective government department.
