EverCert will develop and submit your application

Through our vast understanding of the different prequalification and accreditation schemes, EverCert will undertake the development submission of your application ensuring it conforms to the relevant requirements of the associated governing body.

Why You Need Prequalification?

Gaining prequalification and accreditation with these bodies provides your business with ability to undertake specialist works as defined by these bodies. Through our extensive experience and the adoption of our management system approach, EverCert undertakes the end-to-end application process in submitting a conforming application enabling your business to take the next steps in achieving your goals.

AustRoads National Prequalification Scheme

The National Prequalification System for Civil (Road and Bridge) Construction Contracts categorizes contractors intending to bid for road and bridge construction projects. This system is overseen by state and territory road agencies.

Contractors interested in bidding for road and bridge construction contracts are assessed under this prequalification system. Evaluation criteria include the contractor’s technical and managerial proficiency, financial capability, and past performance. The program is managed locally by state and territory road agencies.

There isn’t a centralized authority managing the prequalification procedure. Instead, contractors desiring prequalification under the system must directly apply to the participating agency of their choice. Once prequalified, eligible contractors may request recognition of their prequalification status by other participating agencies, subject to specific restrictions and conditions.

Accredited Service Provider (ASP) Scheme

The Accredited Service Provider (ASP) scheme accredits organisations to perform contestable work on the NSW electricity distribution network, giving consumers who need to connect to the network access to a competent and competitive market of service providers. The ASP scheme ensures customers have the right to have this work done by suitably accredited companies and their qualified staff. This promotes the competitive provision of services while ensuring that essential safety and other technical requirements are observed.

Contestable works are works that are required for the electricity distribution network provider to supply the load in the power lines where a new or altered connection is being requested. These works are usually requested and funded by individuals or organisations to suit site developments or when damage is caused by others.

Level 1:

for construction of network assets, which allows for both overhead and underground construction work on both distribution and transmission networks

Level 2:

for service work and connection services, which allows for construction of service lines between the distribution system and the point of connection to the premises and for energising new or altered connections

Level 3:

for design of network assets, which allows for the design of transmission and distribution networks, including underground or overhead services.

Technically Assured Organisation (TAO) Scheme

The Technically Assured Organisation (TAO) Scheme recognises technical capability within the transport sector and allows entities to compete to provide self-assured services on Transport assets.

Entities that seek to provide self-assured engineering and asset services to Transport, or within the supply chain, are required to become a TAO.

Recognition as a TAO is gained through an evidence based assessment and is dependent on participation in the surveillance program.

Federal Safety Commissioner’s (FSC) WHS Accreditation Scheme

Depending on the value of a project, only builders who are accredited by the Federal Safety Commissioner under the WHS Accreditation Scheme (the Scheme) can enter into head contracts for building work that is funded directly or indirectly by the Australian Government.

To be accredited by the Federal Safety Commissioner (FSC), builders must have rigorous safety management systems in place and demonstrate that they are being implemented and followed on-site. This means that accredited builders have higher safety management standards and systems and undergo more rigorous auditing than they would otherwise. It also means that the FSC has certified the builder’s safety management system as meeting the requirements of the Scheme and as such, they can tender for Australian Government projects.

Office of the National Rail Safety Regulator (ONRSR) Accreditation Scheme

The Rail Safety National Law (RSNL) requires that a person or entity must apply for and be granted accreditation by ONRSR before commencing railway operations.

It is ONRSR’s task to exercise powers under the RSNL to grant, with or without conditions, accreditation to a person or organisation (i.e. a rail transport operator, having the role of one or both of a rail infrastructure manager or rolling stock operator, as defined by the RSNL) that can demonstrate it has the competence and capacity to manage safety risks associated with its railway operations.

For legal requirements surrounding accreditation refer the Rail Safety National Law (RSNL) and Rail Safety National Law National Regulations 2012.
