Decrolux, a leading provider of innovative lighting solutions, and Horizon Poles, a top manufacturer of high-quality utility poles, sought help in developing comprehensive functional requirements for their foundation documents. Their goal was to ensure their products met government standards for tendering processes. Working together, we created a suite of foundational documentation to streamline their tender submissions and increase their chances of winning government contracts.
Decrolux and Horizon Poles faced the challenge of accurately documenting the functional requirements for government tenders. These tenders often have strict guidelines that must be met to avoid disqualification. Without clear and detailed documentation of their products' functional specifications, they risked missing out on valuable government contract opportunities.
Our team conducted a series of interviews and workshops with key stakeholders from Decrolux and Horizon Poles to gather information on the functional specifications for their products. We analysed the existing documentation, reviewed Tasmanian and federal government tender requirements, and consulted with their team to ensure that all requirements were identified and documented accurately. This information was compiled and finessed into comprehensive foundation documents that can easily be updated and re-purposed for Decrolux and Horizon Poles and assist in future tendering processes.
By having a clear and comprehensive foundation document, Decrolux and Horizon Poles were able to confidently edit and tailor their bids for government tenders. The foundation documents prepared by our team have been able to help them demonstrate compliance with the specifications outlined in the tender documents, increasing their chances of winning contracts.
Decrolux and Horizon Poles now have key tender documentation, such as their Economic Impact Statement, capabilities and capacity, among other key pieces of information required when tendering, saving time and resources by having all the necessary information readily available. This will stand them in good stead to improve the quality of their bids, leading to greater success in securing government contracts.
The Project Lab was able to bring its tendering expertise to this collaboration with Decrolux and Horizon Poles. We helped them gather and document their products' functional requirements, creating a polished foundation for future tenders. This clear documentation highlights their combined value, making them more competitive and increasing their chances of winning future government contracts.
The Project Lab delivers impactful engagements and partners with organisations and stakeholders in five target sectors. Our sectors combine industries in a traditional sector with a “this is how we do it here” approach, bringing a uniquely Tasmanian perspective to the way we can approach challenges and opportunities individually or together.
With Tasmania’s ambitious target of tripling exports by 2050, we’re motivated to work with organisations that will realise this goal. Manufacturing, primary production and transport companies intrinsically work together to unlock the potential of our island, supplying products to a diverse range of local, national and international markets.
