Defence Housing Australia (DHA) was established as a statutory authority in 1988 to provide housing and related services to Australian Defence Force (ADF) members and their families. To meet the Department of Defence (Defence) housing requirements, DHA builds or otherwise acquires approximately 1,000 new properties per year, most of which are sold and then leased back. In order to maintain the condition of these properties, DHA establish a range of maintenance panels across the countries for a range of trades.
This week we look at two new Requests for Tender (RFTs) issued by DHA looking for suitably qualified businesses to join the Residential Maintenance Services Panel for various maintenance jobs including property cleaners, painters and pool maintenance contractors in the Hunter, Townsville and Cairns. Note last week similar RFTs were issued for Wagga Wagga and Melbourne regions.
These tenders only relate to residential housing maintenance/upgrade work including freestanding homes, strata units and townhouses or multi-dwelling complexes for the housing of Defence members in numerous maintenance areas across Australia and do not include any industrial or commercial premises.
Specific trades being called for in each region include:
– Townsville & Cairns: Painting, Cleaning and Pool Maintenance.
– Hunter: Property Cleaning, Building and Ceramic Tiling.
– Melbourne: Smoke Alarms, Painting, Floor Covering Cleaning, Window Furnishings, Sanitary and Drainage Plumbing, Roof Plumbing, Carpentry, Fencing, Garage Doors, Locksmith, Roof Tiling and Building.
– Wagga Wagga: Carpentry, Floor covering cleaning, grounds maintenance, painting and Cleaning.
DHA is looking to establish a panel of suppliers in the various regions for an initial 12 month term, with options for extension. The RFT for Townsville and Cairns closes on 7 April and 13th April for the Hunter with Melbourne and Wagga Wagga closing 1 April and 4 April respectively.
