Delivering projects that connect communities and fuel growth and trade

Infrastructure

Great infrastructure keeps us connected, healthy and educated, connects the utilities that run our homes, and mitigates the impact of climate change. It fuels economic growth and has an important role in facilitating trade. Governments are partnering to create innovative, sustainable and resilient infrastructure assets, powered by digital technologies, for future cities and communities. Our experts advise government and the private sector on domestic and international projects, transactions and disputes.

TfNSW – Digital Systems Program

Our work has spanned the public and private side of Sydney Metro projects, acting for Sydney Metro, contractors, operators and station developers. We are currently acting for the NSW government to deliver the $11b Sydney Metro - Western Sydney Airport project involving 23-kilometre new railway and six new metro stations procured as series of design & construct packages together with a long term PPP for the delivery and operation of the line.

Advised the State of Victoria on all aspects of the procurement processes for the $1.5b New Footscray Hospital PPP and the major redevelopment of Frankston Hospital. Each project was successfully procured during the challenges of COVID-19 and when delivered will provide major enhancements to the Victorian public health and hospital networks.

 

ItNewcom was engaged by TfNSW to provide commercial support in sourcing operational technology systems to upgrade Sydney's rail network as part of the Digital Systems Program. Our role involved the development and execution of the sourcing strategy, EOI, RFP, evaluation, negotiation and mobilisation.
