Sydney Road Asset Performance Contract ($2B)
Tender Management and Contract Startup
Wayma provided targeted leadership during the Sydney Road Assets Performance Contract (SRAPC) Harbour Zone tender, playing a central role in shaping commercial strategy, managing key risks, and negotiating with Transport for NSW to align the JV’s position with the performance-based contract model. We focused on securing a future-focused agreement that balanced client expectations with commercial integrity. Alongside this, we led the development of Aboriginal participation, sustainability, and community strategies to meet Transport’s social procurement objectives, coordinating closely with legal, technical, and stakeholder teams to deliver a well-positioned submission under tight timeframes.
Following the successful bid, Wayma supported the JV’s mobilisation efforts to ensure a strong project launch. We established governance frameworks, reporting tools, and performance tracking systems aligned with contract obligations and internal assurance requirements. We also advised on team structures, onboarding plans, and stakeholder interface protocols—creating clarity in roles, decision-making, and communication from day one. This early-stage support drew on Wayma’s core strengths in governance, risk, and delivery setup, helping the JV move into delivery with confidence and control.

We worked closely with Transport for NSW and community stakeholders to address key concerns including environmental impact, regional access, and connectivity. This integrated approach reflected Wayma’s capability in delivering complex infrastructure and managing design governance with clarity, speed, and stakeholder sensitivity.
