REPORT PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to seek Council‟s endorsement of a successful tenderer for
the provision of freight service – incorporating general, refrigerated, express and courier for
a period of two (2) years from the Date of Acceptance with a further one (1) year option.
Background
Tenders were advertised in the West Australian and the Pilbara News between 10 January
and 21 January, 2009 with one (1) tender received from Centurion prior to the closing date
and time.
Tender Evaluation Process
The tender was reviewed against the following criteria:
Organisational Capabilities 30/100 weighting
Key Personnel 10/100 weighting
Performance 60/100 weighting
Price non-weighted
Although there was only one (1) Tenderer, the Panel rated the submission to ensure it met
our requirements. The tender rated “fair to good”, with “few to no” deficiencies. Given
Council already use this Contractor, previous experience was a good indicator of
performance.
Issues
There is currently State Government arrangements in place for all of the services
requested under this tender, so these rates were used as a comparison to this tender.
From this comparison it was determined that air freight and road express services were
better placed to be delivered under the State arrangements. Therefore the Panel has
recommended not to include these services in any tender let.
Options
Council has the following options available:
