Tender strategy, industrial relations and social procurement for Australia's infrastructure and construction sector.

Practical experience across major infrastructure projects.

1st Choice People has supported infrastructure contractors since 2014 with tender strategy, industrial relations, social procurement and people advisory.

Our experience comes from running HR, IR and social procurement on live projects, including EastLink, Sugarloaf Pipeline, the South Road Superway, Metro Tunnel Early Works and the $2B+ North Western Program Alliance. We write bid commitments with a clear view of what it takes to deliver them.
