Victoria government facilities management & maintenance tenders are published through Buying for Victoria and related agencies.

Question 2

How do I find facilities management government tenders in Australia?

Accepted Answer

Facilities management tenders are published across government and industry platforms, from AusTender to state portals, local councils, and private-sector networks. They're one of the most frequently tendered categories. Australia Tender Alerts monitors all major sources and uses AI to match your specific FM capabilities — cleaning, security, HVAC, grounds maintenance, or integrated facility management — so you see only relevant opportunities.

Question 3

Which states have the most facilities management tenders?

Accepted Answer

New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, and South Australia all publish high volumes of FM tenders due to their large government property portfolios. NSW and VIC lead in volume, but every state and territory regularly tenders building maintenance, cleaning, and security services for schools, hospitals, government offices, and public facilities.

Question 4

How long are typical government facilities management contracts?

Accepted Answer

Government FM contracts typically run for 2 to 5 years, often with extension options of 1 to 3 additional years. Cleaning and security contracts tend toward 3+1+1 year structures, while integrated FM contracts for large portfolios can be 5+2+2 years. Longer contracts provide revenue stability, but initial mobilisation costs can be significant. Many contracts include KPIs and performance reviews that determine whether extension options are exercised.

Question 5

What licences and certifications are required for facilities management tenders?

Accepted Answer

Requirements depend on the service type. Security providers need a master security licence in the relevant state, plus individually licensed personnel. Cleaning contractors should comply with AS/NZS 5149 and may need specialist certifications for healthcare, biohazard, or height-access cleaning. Building maintenance contractors require relevant trade licences — electrical, plumbing, HVAC, fire protection — as applicable. For integrated FM contracts, ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 45001 (safety), and ISO 14001 (environmental) certifications are commonly expected. All providers need public liability insurance (typically $10 million to $20 million), workers' compensation, and appropriate professional indemnity cover. Police checks and Working with Children Checks are standard for personnel working in schools, hospitals, and other sensitive environments.
