Preparing for a Major Bid

Council, Finance Committee as well as senior Management require early notification of our involvement in major bids. This includes proposed bids for Co-operative Research Centres and Centres of Excellence. You will find it useful to read State Government Department of Economic Development Policy Framework for support for such centres.
A Generic Registration document (50KB word doc) is available for those schemes which may not yet have a formal opening date.
In addition, if you are planning on developing a major bid (such as for a Centre of Excellence, large equipment, or Cooperative Research Centre) it is important you lodge an expression of interest as early as possible. Go to Forms.
