DPIRD seeks accredited labs for soil and plant tissue analysis to support key agricultural and environmental programs, establishing a Panel Arrangement.

The Soil Science Team (SST), a division within the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD, the Contract Authority and Customer), is responsible for delivering key components of four externally funded programs: Healthy Estuaries WA program; Soils – New Horizons; Know your Southern Soils; and Sustainable Sandy Soils (West Midlands).

To support delivery of these initiatives, DPIRD is seeking the services of accredited testing facilities to undertake analysis of soil macronutrients and pH, as well as macro and micronutrients in plant tissue.

DPIRD intends to establish a Panel Arrangement comprising suitably qualified Contractors (Testing Partners, Panel Members) to provide testing and analysis services in support of these programs. It is anticipated that three to five Contractors may be appointed to the Panel Arrangement, with the final number determined at DPIRD’s sole discretion.

The resulting Head Agreement will operate as a Standing Offer, with Orders issued on an as?required basis for the duration of the Term. The service type and scope for each Order will be defined within the Order (Service Request) Form.

No guarantee is provided regarding the value or volume of Orders to be issued.

The buyer is the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development. The original contract value is not publicly available in this record. The procurement method is not specified, but it's an 'opportunity' stage tender for a Panel Arrangement. No winning contractors are named as it's an open opportunity.
