Tenders will be invited to join a Consultancy Services Panel of Consultants and Contractors to provide expert advice and specialist professional services to support DPFEM project work.

The Panel will be accessed as required to source project resources to support a range of project activities and project roles for the duration of projects or short term project engagements. Access to the Panel will be available to projects undertaken and overseen by DPFEM business areas including Tasmania Police, Tasmania Fire Service, Business and Executive Services, State Emergency Service and Forensic Science Service Tasmania.

The final number of Consultants comprising the Panel will be determined entirely at the Departments discretion. It is likely that the Panel will comprise a number of Consultants offering one or more of the services. There is no guarantee that any particular consultancy will receive any work or any minimum amount of work.

It is is envisaged that Panel membership will be reviewed every 3 years.
