Build your pipeline and position to win.
To succeed in winning major infrastructure contracts, contractors and industry partners must diligently monitor and analyse the pipeline of upcoming projects. Australian governments carefully select, prioritise, and release infrastructure projects based on a combination of economic, social, and strategic needs. These projects are typically aligned with long-term government plans, such as the Infrastructure Investment Program or state-specific infrastructure strategies, which are designed to meet growth, sustainability, and service delivery goals.
Understanding the broader priorities of government, including timelines for investment and the release of tenders, allows contractors to strategically position themselves early. Pre-positioning involves establishing relationships, building awareness of upcoming opportunities, and demonstrating capabilities well before a project hits the tender stage. By anticipating government priorities and aligning with policy objectives, contractors can be better prepared to tailor their offerings and enhance their chances of success, whether they are pursuing opportunities singularly or in partnership with other industry players.
