CIS Tender 4 NEM Generation

Welcome to the CIS Tender 4: National Electricity Market – Generation (Tender 4) conducted by AEMO.

Registration is now open.

Proponents are strongly encouraged to read the CIS Tender 4 NEM Generation Guidelines on the AEMO Services' website. 

Completing the registration form is the first step in the tender process.

Once registered, you will be kept up to date on all the information to support you throughout the tender process.

For instructions on how to register, please refer to the following:

Getting Started

If you need help using this form, download the Help Guide for Applicants or check out Applicant Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's).

Navigating (Moving Through) The Application Form

On every screen (page of the form) you will find a Form Navigation contents box, this links directly to every page of the application. Click the link to jump directly to the page you want.

You can also click 'next page' or 'previous page' on the top or bottom of each page to move forward or backward through the application.

Saving Your Draft Application

If you wish to leave a partially completed application, press 'save and close' and log out. When you log back in and click on the 'My Submissions' link at the top of the screen, you will find a list of any applications you have started or submitted. You can reopen your draft application and start where you left off.

You can also download any application, whether draft or completed, as a PDF. Click on the 'Download PDF' button located at the bottom of the last page of the application form.

Submitting Your Application

You will find a Review and Submit button at the bottom of the Navigation Panel. You need to review your application before you can submit it.

Once you have reviewed your application you can submit it by clicking on 'Submit' at the top or bottom of the screen or on the navigation panel. You will not be able to submit your application until all the compulsory questions are completed and there are no validation errors.

Once you have submitted your application, no further editing or uploading of support materials is possible.

When you submit your application, you will receive a confirmation email with a copy of your submitted application attached. This will be sent to the email you used to register.

If you do not receive a confirmation of submission email then you should presume that your submission has NOT been submitted.

Hint: also check the email hasn't landed in your spam or junk email folder.

Attachments and Support Documents

You may need to upload/submit attachments to support your application. This is very simple, but requires you to have the documents saved on your computer, or on a storage device.

You need to allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file. Files can be up to 25MB each; however, we do recommend trying to keep files to a maximum of 5MB – the larger the file, the longer the upload time.

Completing An Application in A Group/Team

Proponents who have created a SmartyFile organisation profile can now set up multiple team members as users for your organisation with different access levels and collaborate with other team members on SmartyGrants submissions.  For more information on setting up your organisation's SmartyFile profile, visit the SmartyFile Help Page.

Proponents who choose not to set up a SmartyFile organisation profile can work on the Project Bid Form using the same log-in details.  However, at any given time only one person can be working on the form in the system. In this instance, we recommend that Proponents utilise the option to download a PDF of the Project Bid Form to allow content to be developed in parallel.  Please ensure that your team members save regularly to avoid losing any completed information.

For help using this form, download the SmartyGrants help guide for Proponents or check out SmartyGrants Proponent FAQs.

Spell Check

Most internet browsers (including Firefox v2.0 and above; Safari; and Google Chrome) have spell checking facilities built in – you can switch this function on or off by adjusting your browser settings.
