About Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water procurement

The Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) leads national policy and delivery across climate action, energy transition, biodiversity, and water resources. Their procurement footprint is sizeable and geographically broad, with 74 tenders tracked in public records and a strong national focus (most opportunities are listed as National), complemented by significant activity in NSW and the ACT. Distinctively, they buy across the full policy-to-delivery spectrum: from research, modelling and program administration, to field construction and asset works, to grants and reverse auctions. Recent notices span “Carbon Capture Technologies Program – Round 2”, “Powering the Regions Fund – Safeguard Transformation Stream Round 2”, “Advancing Australia’s National Interests in Antarctica”, and program logistics such as “ATM_2026_6251: Event Management Services for Pre-COP meetings in Fiji”. They also run market engagement for complex schemes, e.g. “RFI… National Solar Panel Recycling Pilot” and permit scheme administration.

What they buy reflects their mandate and the range of delivery partners they use. Built-environment and site works are recurring, from “Fire Access & Fire Trails (FAFT) Upgrades – Kilmores Fire Trail, Hat Head National Park” and “Upper Darling Salt Interception scheme (SIS) Disposal Basin Works” to “Construction of Campground Facilities – Thurloo Downs” and targeted “Demolition and asbestos removal work”. Environmental and water projects feature strongly, including “Threatened Ecological Community Mapping for the Central West Orana REZ”, “Urban Stormwater Modelling Project”, “Contamination Management Plans for Jabiru Town” and “Development of a National Bird and Bat Management Plan (BBMP) Template and Guidance for Australian Wind Farms”. They procure technical advisory and program support via panels and open tenders (“Technical Advisory Services Panel”, “Finance Systems Support Services”, “80161500 – Management support services”), and regularly source ICT capability, evidenced by multiple roles in testing, cloud engineering, and platforms (e.g. “1 MS Dynamics D365 Solution Architect”, “4 Senior Azure Cloud Engineer”, “1 Commvault & Veritas Infrastructure Engineer”). Market instruments such as reverse auctions and water purchasing rounds (“Biodiversity Credits Supply Fund – 9th Reverse auction”, “Expression of Interest… sell water to the Australian Government”, “Aboriginal Water Entitlements… Open Tender”) sit alongside grants like “First Nations Clean Energy Advice Grants Round 1”.

To engage, suppliers should track both open ATMs and structured market processes (EOIs, RFIs, panels), noting that advisory panels and labour hire are used to streamline repeat needs while complex initiatives proceed via open competition. Demonstrate capability with evidence from comparable environments—protected area works, environmental modelling, program/grant administration, or regulated scheme delivery—and emphasise risk, safety, data governance, sustainability and quality assurance. Credible First Nations engagement and partnerships are often relevant, reflected in tenders such as “Great Barrier Reef Traditional Owner Led Water Quality Improvement Program” and “Aboriginal Water Entitlements”. Smaller firms can break in by joining multi-supplier panels (e.g. technical advisory), subcontracting on construction or ICT packages, responding to RFIs for future opportunities (e.g. solar panel recycling and permit schemes), and targeting niche services like camera trap analytics (“WildObs”) or event delivery.
