Maintenance contractors
DHA manages a Residential Maintenance Services (RMS) contractor base, which provide maintenance and emergency repair services across approximately 17,000 properties Australia wide.
We appoint contractors to this contractor base via AusTender.  
In accordance with our RMS arrangements and operational requirements, DHA may utilise alternative arrangements and from time to time advertise any of work packages via AusTender. 
Development, construction and upgrade contractors
DHA undertakes design and construction work as well as upgrades to existing properties. To streamline the tendering process DHA has established an informal preferred builders list in areas with large volumes of works.                
Expressions of Interest are advertised on AusTender on a periodic basis to seek qualified home builders to become pre-qualified to tender for the upgrade and construction of DHA properties.
In line with operational requirements, DHA may advertise any work packages via AusTender. 
Valuation contractors
DHA regularly engages independent Valuers to undertake valuations for properties under management or being considered for management by DHA. The independent valuers engaged are active financial members of the Australian Property Institute in the state or territory in which the property is located.
 In accordance with the existing valuation arrangements and operational requirements, DHA may utilise alternative arrangements and from time to time advertise any of work packages via AusTender.
