What is the National Prequalification System for Civil Construction?

The National Prequalification System for Civil (Road and Bridge) Construction Contracts classifies contractors who wish to tender for road and bridge construction contracts. The scheme was initially developed by Austroads.

Although the system is administered by the state and territory road agencies. We specialise in the development and submission of applications to secure prequalification status for contractors in New South Wales for the Transport for NSW state government road agency. This in turn allows the contractor to tender for state government projects based on their prequalification status.

The prequalification system classifies contractors who wish to tender for road and bridge construction contracts. The classification is based on the contractor's technical and managerial expertise, financial capacity, and previous performance.

Under the NPS, contracts for the construction of roadworks and or bridgeworks are categorised as follows:

Roadworks: R1 to R5 (with R1 being the lowest level)
Bridgeworks: B1 to B4 (with B1 being the lowest level)
TfNSW also requires prequalification for the Specialist Categories including Concrete Paving Machine Placed (K1 and K2), Asphalt Paving Machine Placed (A1 and A2), Pretensioned Concrete Routine (C1 and C2), Steel Fabrication Construction (CC3), and Protective Treatment Field (T).

Contractors are also financially assessed. The contractor is then assigned an NPS financial level. This indicates the maximum value of project the contractor can bid for. The levels range from F0.25 to F100 Plus. For example, a contractor assigned F10, can undertake projects valued at a maximum value of $10 Millon.

Once prequalified, eligible contractors may seek to have their prequalification status recognised by other participating agencies in Victora, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania and Australian Capital Territory.
