Project Progress & Market Opportunities
The project is currently working towards 50% Schematic Design Review and developing the procurement model and cost estimate. Accordingly, the WRJV invites all suitably qualified contractors and suppliers to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) for one or more of the associated Trade Packages.

Packages can be viewed below. The WRJV will approach market providers to register in 2 stages simultaneously via the 2 electronic mediums/enterprises of ICN and Felix.
Post EOI activities:
Interested parties will subsequently be invited into the following two (2) stages:
- Stage 1: Participate in a market sounding exercise for the respective works to inform project cost estimates and support development of the packaging strategy to maximise local industry participation. The WRJV encourages involvement as this will automatically qualify your company's participation within Stage 2. Potential tenderers that choose not to participate in this market sounding process will not be prevented from or disadvantaged in participating in the subsequent request for tender (RFT) process, if any.
- Stage 2: An invitation to tender on the finalised work packages will be formally issued after the project enters the Delivery Phase through Felix. The Felix platform administers the projects formal tender packages for market provider opportunities, in progression of actual package award for the particular scope delivery.
