Most strata committees are told they need a consultant to run an embedded network tender. In many cases, they don’t.

This practical guide, developed in collaboration with the Strata Community Association, walks strata managers and owners corporations through a clear, compliant process for running a competitive embedded network tender internally, covering everything from preparing tender documents to evaluating retailer responses and negotiating commercial terms.

What an embedded network tender should include, how to compare retailer offers properly, the common mistakes that cost schemes money, how to assess service levels, rebates and contract terms, and the governance and probity considerations committees should understand. You’ll also get a practical step-by-step tender framework you can apply immediately.
