Bid Assessment Framework
The purpose of this Bid Assessment Framework is to support the market for water resources, demand management and leakage services. It provides guidance and a template to enable you to submit proposals to help us maintain our water supply balance.

This process is designed to ensure transparency and fairness throughout the tendering process and builds on existing processes and our obligations for water resource planning, procurement law and competition obligations.
