The panel streamlines the process for the engagement of external specialist commercial and financial advisory services in relation to major infrastructure projects in Queensland.

The aims of the panel are:

  • to achieve the best value for money in terms of price, quality and service delivery to the State
  • to streamline the tendering process for the engagement of specialist advisors for Public Private Partnerships and other major infrastructure projects
