1. Introduction
Suppliers wishing to supply services to the University of Newcastle (UoN) must first be qualified. Once qualified, suppliers are subject to on-going review by the UoN to ensure that the information submitted in their application remains valid and that they have performed satisfactorily when awarded contracts. The purpose of the qualification scheme is to reduce the effort of the Industry and individual suppliers at the time of quote or tender, and to minimize risks to UoN. The scheme aims to facilitate the engagement of qualified suppliers for the delivery of the UoN Capital Works program.
Suppliers will be required to comply fully with all Tendering Terms and conditions.
2. Qualification Process
Qualification is available for all categories of supply of products and services at the UoN’s discretion. The below diagram represents the indicative qualification process.
*The UoN will review the ongoing RFx performance of suppliers. Where suppliers consistently fail to demonstrate value for money in their submission suppliers may be removed from the Qualified Supplier Pool.

4. Assessment and notification
Applications for qualification will be assessed by a qualification panel consisting of UoN personnel. The UoN may undertake investigations as necessary in order to assess performance (such as Audit Reports and Performance Reports) and interview the supplier to clarify details of the application.
Suppliers should allow at least four weeks from the date of submission for written notification of the outcome. The qualification of a supplier does not extend to a related or subsidiary supplier owned or controlled by the supplier.
5. Selection for Tendering
Qualification will not necessarily guarantee inclusion in a tender process. Invitation to tender will be determined by meeting a selection criteria based on experience and capacity relevant to each particular project determined by the UoN.
6. Sustaining Qualification
The UoN will assess a supplier through tendering and contract performance. Matters taken into account in the assessment of a Supplier’s performance may include:
Quality and competitiveness of RFX proposals Standard of work and performance Compliance with agreed pricing Additional cost savings or value adding provided by the supplier over the life of the contract Quality Management System and quality assurance in contract performance Compliance with Occupational Health, Safety and Welfare or Rehabilitation requirements Compliance with Equal Opportunity requirements Managerial performance (including management and supervision of personnel and sub- contractors, and effective site and industrial relations management) Adherence to contract provisions Approach to cooperation and partnering with the UoN
UoN may review a supplier’s qualification if it becomes aware of:
Unsatisfactory performance of UoN or other contracts; Substantial adverse change in a supplier’s technical, financial, managerial, or organizational capability; A supplier being placed into voluntary administration or involved in a compromise or other arrangement with creditors.
University Of Newcastle Page 4 of 21 Qualified Supplier Scheme Application
The UoN may, in its absolute discretion, rescind or suspend the qualification. The supplier will be given details of the matters prompting this decision. The UoN may make revisions to the scheme, or seek new applications at any time. Whenever a full revision of the system is carried out, additional information or new applications from currently qualified suppliers will be sought.
7. Suppliers to advise UoN Qualified suppliers are required to immediately advise the Associate Director- Commercial Services, of any significant change to;
Financial or technical capacity Ownership or holding Any convictions or prohibition notices under OHS&W or environmental legislation Significant changes to the range of products or services offered Address, phone, e-mail or facsimile numbers Substandard changes to quality accreditation Changes to levels of insurance

9. Publication of qualification status
The qualification achieved by a supplier will be disclosed to others on the following web site: www.newcastle.edu.au. A supplier may communicate its UoN qualification status to others, but the supplier must not represent that this qualification has any other meaning except prequalification as a potential supplier to the UoN. No responsibility is accepted for any consequences arising from the use of the qualification scheme other than for UoN contracts.
10. Disclaimer
The decision to approve or reject, with or without conditions, any application for qualification or for rescission or suspension of qualification is at the absolute discretion of the UoN. The UoN is not liable for any costs or damage incurred in the exercise of such discretion or the discretion to rescind or suspend any qualification.
