Terms of service

We provide tender writing, prequalification, opportunity matching and compliance documentation services to businesses seeking government and local government work. We are an independent consultancy. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of the Queensland Government, the QBCC, or any local government authority.

Procurement outcomes are decided by independent evaluation panels applying their own criteria. We do not and cannot guarantee that a submission will be shortlisted, successful, or that any prequalification application will be approved. Anything we say about likelihood is an opinion based on experience, not a promise.

You agree to:

• Provide accurate, complete and current information, including about licensing, insurance and financial position
• Review every submission for factual accuracy before it is lodged
• Hold and maintain the licences, insurances and registrations required for the work you bid on
• Meet the obligations of any contract you are awarded

You remain responsible for the truth of what is submitted in your name. We write it; you own it.

Fees, scope and payment terms are set out in a written proposal or engagement letter before work begins. Unless that document says otherwise, fees are payable regardless of the outcome of a submission, because the work is the writing and lodgement rather than the result.

We treat your commercial information as confidential and use it only for the purpose of providing the services. We may refer to you as a client, and describe work in general terms, only with your permission.

On payment in full, you own the final submissions and documents we prepare for you. We retain ownership of our underlying templates, methodologies and know-how, and may continue to use them for other clients.

All content on this website — text, layout, graphics and code — remains our property and may not be reproduced without permission.

Nothing in these terms excludes any right you have under the Australian Consumer Law. Where our liability can be limited, it is limited to resupplying the services or paying the cost of having them resupplied. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost profits or lost opportunity.

Website content is general information, not legal, financial or procurement advice for your specific circumstances. Thresholds, registers and requirements referred to on this site change from time to time; always confirm the current position with the relevant agency before relying on it.

Either of us can end an engagement in writing at any time. If you end it partway through, you are liable for work already performed to that point, charged against the scope in the engagement letter. If we end it, we will not charge for work not yet done, and we will hand over the drafts and documents prepared for you so far.

Where a submission has already been lodged on your behalf, ending the engagement does not withdraw it. Withdrawing a lodged submission is a matter between you and the buyer.

We may update these terms from time to time. The current version is always the one published on this page, with the last-updated date shown at the top. Where an engagement is already underway, the terms that applied when it began continue to apply to it.

These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia, and the courts of Queensland have jurisdiction.
