In March 2024, we released a request for tender through AusTender for an organisation to deliver phase 2 and 3 of the program.
This included:
- plugging and abandoning the oil wells
- removing the subsea infrastructure
- dismantling and managing the decommissioning waste onshore.
We evaluated the submissions in line with the Commonwealth Procurement Rules (CPRs). The CPRs govern how Commonwealth officials buy goods and services, and ensure the government and taxpayers get value for money.
We were not able to identify a tender that meets all requirements, including delivering both phases 2 and 3, and providing an acceptable value for money outcome.
We are now reviewing the options for delivering future phases of the program and the best way to tender for these services in 2025. Subscribe to updates to receive more information when tenders are released on AusTender.
