Tender Overview

This is a forward notice to advise that WorkCover Queensland (WorkCover) are planning to approach the open market to establish a Common Law Claims Management Panel Standing Offer Arrangement (SOA) for commencement from 1 July 2023 with an initial term of 3 years and the possibility to extend for 2 further periods of up to 1 year each at the discretion of WorkCover.

The current SOA commenced operation on 1 July 2018 and is due to expire on 30 June 2023. The current panel consists of 11 suppliers including Crown Law (Crown Law are mandated under tied arrangements for Common law services involving Queensland Government entities).

The scope of the services for this SOA includes the following:

  • Managing the resolution of a portfolio of common law claims including the following activities:
    • Pre-proceedings, Litigation proceedings and Trial proceedings for all claim types.
    • Engaging with employers throughout the common law journey in accordance with our customer principles.
    • Delivery of services to Brisbane and regional areas.
    • Working with employers (customers) to increase their awareness of actions to take to prevent further claims.
  • Contributing to knowledge sharing with WorkCover and other providers through channels including Yammer, webinars, and focus groups to help WorkCover resolve specific issues related to common law claims.
  • Innovation and partnering to assist WorkCover to meet its objectives.
  • WorkCover may also engage suppliers under this panel for ad-hoc corporate legal services at additional cost (optional for Providers to offer).

The geographical scope of services delivery will include Brisbane and Queensland regional areas.

In establishing the new SOA WorkCover will be seeking interest from Providers currently providing services in the personal injury insurance market and from Providers who have the capability to enter this market.

WorkCover receives about 85,000-90,000 statutory claim registrations per annum and of these approximately 65,000 statutory claims are accepted per annum. These statutory claims are managed in-house by WorkCover. Approximately 3-4% of these claims transition to common law claims, producing about 3,000+ common law claims per annum.

Estimated spend under contract for this procurement is up to approximately $50 Million per year.
