Overview of Engaging Designer or Managing Contractor

Once the PM/CA is engaged, it is necessary to follow the processes outlined for either engaging a Designer for the Head Contractor Strategy or a Managing Contractor for the Managing Contractor Strategy.

The PM/CA is required to either develop a Brief and the DSC-1 2003 or MCC-1 2003 tender documents to enable engagement of a Designer or Managing Contractor, as appropriate. The PD is to review the documents prepared by the PM/CA.

Once the ITR/RFT has been advertised, it is the role of the PM/CA to be the point of contact for the ITR/RFT.

If engaged, the Probity Adviser can provide advice to the Commonwealth in responding to any clarifications raised or any other issues that arise during the tender and evaluation process. In the absence of a Probity Adviser, DCC should be contacted.

Ensure that all Executive Review and Approval (ERA) requirements of documents as outlined in the IAD Development and Delivery Framework have been met. For ERA thresholds and delegations refer to ID Directive 16.

Include any and all relevant government, legislative and policy requirements, e.g. National Code of Practice, Occupation Health and Safety, Energy Efficiency in Design and Green Building Requirements.
