Mackay companies called to tender for construction works

Mackay building companies are encouraged to tender to build new office space for Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service under the Queensland Government’s new procurement strategy.

Environment Minister Leeanne Enoch said Buy Queensland, which came into effect 1 September 2017, was a fantastic initiative for local businesses looking to tender for the works.

“Changing the way government procures is giving local businesses improved access to government work,” Ms Enoch said.

“The Queensland Government is helping local businesses to grow, and is supporting employment for local workers and apprentices.

Member for Mackay Julieanne Gilbert encouraged local construction businesses with offices in Mackay to put in a tender for the project, which will include construction of a new office – complete with lunch room and disabled toilet facilities – and car parks.

“The project will provide jobs and income for a range of trades, including carpentry, plumbing and electrical,” Mrs Gilbert said.

This Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service office space tender is open until 22 February 2018. Tenders can be submitted via the QTenders website.
