Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least two separate occasions and include:

• applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including:

• using risk control measures

• ascertaining the tender requirements, including:

• planning tender submission activities
• special conditions and requirements

• assembling tender submission, including:

• ensuring tender submission is ready for lodgement before the closing date/time

• documenting tender submission.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

• relevant documents supplied with a tender
• relevant job safety assessments or risk mitigation processes
• relevant special conditions included in a tender
• relevant tender submission requirements
