Note the core tender is for building works, so you’ll need to pitch to the head contractor.
Scope, route to the work, and what to askA refurbishment job with one security line in itThe public listing is more specific than the notice SEN was sent. Security is the last item on a builder’s list, which is exactly why it will be subcontracted.
Listed scope · building works
Renewal of staff amenities
Provision of an adult accessible toilet
Laundry upgrade
Replacement of original internal timber-framed windows and doorsTo match the existing aluminium, per the listing
Extension of the existing access control systemThroughout the building; the only electronic security item
Why it matters for an integrator
New doors and openings mean new controlled doors, readers and door furniture to coordinate with the joiner, not retrofit later
Accessible toilet and amenities are fit-out trades that typically carry the electrical and data runs an access extension needs
An operating childcare centre: staged works, after-hours access and child-safe site conditions will be in the builder’s terms
Council’s 2026/27 budget allocates $700,000 to the whole project; EstimateOne lists it in the $1m–$1.5m band

Questions the documents must answerWhat is the existing access control platform? “Extension” means matching it, not choosing it; the make decides who can bid credibly.How many doors, and which ones? No count is given. The architectural drawings in the tender set should show door schedules and reader locations.Who supplies the hardware? Whether locks, readers and the controller expansion are the builder’s supply or the sub’s changes the price materially.
