This project involves significant renovations and upgrades to our community facility, including energy efficiency improvements and the establishment of a wellbeing cafe. Reason for Acceleration: The accelerated procedure is essential due to the strict deadline imposed by the fund. Delays in procurement could jeopardise our ability to meet the project objectives and fulfil the funding criteria. Additionally, the project's timely completion is crucial to our mission of supporting vulnerable individuals and the broader community. Seasonal construction factors also require work to be completed within specific timeframes to avoid weather-related delays. Procurement Approach: We will reduce tender submission and evaluation periods, expedite decision-making, and maintain clear communication with suppliers to ensure the process is swift yet fair. This approach ensures compliance with procurement regulations while meeting the critical deadline, allowing us to deliver the project on time and maximise the benefits of the funding for our community."
