"The Department of Public Works and Department of Infrastructure and Planning will share a supplier database from the New Year which will help with the rollout of the Queensland Government’s $18.2 billion infrastructure program. Minister for Public Works Robert Schwarten said building industry consultants and contractors registered on the Department of Public Works prequalification database would be able to bid for Department of Infrastructure and Planning tenders. “This is a common sense approach to help with the rollout of the record infrastructure program in Queensland,” Mr Schwarten said. “The pre-qualification database has been successfully used by government departments to attract suitable suppliers and contractors for capital works building projects for more than 10 years."
