What these tenders cover
Typical work includes SCADA and telemetry for water and wastewater plants and pump stations, PLC upgrades and programming, control and instrumentation (C&I) maintenance at power stations and ports, and building management systems. Contracts range from once-off upgrades to multi-year maintenance and support.
Why they are hard to find
eTenders files automation work under electrical, mechanical, civil or general services depending on the buyer, so it rarely shows up together. This page matches tender titles for SCADA, PLC, telemetry, C&I and automation, wherever the tender was filed.
What buyers usually ask for
Works contracts usually need a CIDB grading in the electrical (EB or EP) or mechanical (ME) class at the level the contract value requires. Buyers often name the platform the plant runs on and ask for certified engineers or technicians, references from similar plants, and a compulsory site visit. Check the specification for the expected response times on support contracts before you price them.
