Preface

The Asset Standards Authority (ASA) is a key strategic branch of Transport for NSW (TfNSW). As the
network design and standards authority for NSW Transport Assets, as specified in the ASA Charter ,
the ASA identifies, selects, develops, publishes, maintains and controls a suite of requirements
documents on behalf of TfNSW, the asset owner.

The ASA deploys TfNSW requirements for asset and safety assurance by creating and managing
TfNSW's governance models, documents and processes. To achieve this, the ASA focuses on four
primary tasks:

 publishing and managing TfNSW's process and requirements documents including TfNSW
plans, standards, manuals and guides

 deploying TfNSW's Authorised Engineering Organisation (AEO) framework

 continuously improving TfNSW’s Asset Management Framework

 collaborating with the Transport cluster and industry through open engagement

The AEO framework authorises engineering organisations to supply and provide asset related products
and services to TfNSW. It works to assure the safety, quality and fitness for purpose of those products
and services over the asset's whole-of-life. AEOs are expected to demonstrate how they have applied
the requirements of ASA documents, including TfNSW plans, standards and guides, when delivering
assets and related services for TfNSW.

Compliance with ASA requirements by itself is not sufficient to ensure satisfactory outcomes for NSW
Transport Assets. The ASA expects that professional judgement be used by competent personnel
when using ASA requirements to produce those outcomes.

About this document

This document is designed for TfNSW agencies involved in procurement of maritime engineering
services and organisations seeking initial AEO assessment or expansion of their scope to demonstrate
capability in relation to maritime engineering services.

1. Introduction
The Authorised Engineering Organisation (AEO) model and framework is used by Transport for NSW
(TfNSW) to ensure confidence in the supply chain capability to deliver and assure asset life cycle
engineering services.

2. Purpose
This document is to be used by TfNSW agencies involved in procurement of maritime engineering
services and organisations seeking initial AEO maritime engineering assessment or expansion of their
scope.

2.1. Scope
The engineering services matrix is used to create an AEO services profile that represents the range of
authorised maritime engineering capabilities an organisation can provide and assure or assure on behalf
of TfNSW.

The same form is also used TfNSW agencies involved in procurement of maritime engineering services
to represent the required project scope of maritime engineering capabilities. It is used by tenderers and
procurement entities to visualise the match and distribution of the capabilities of tendering authorised
organisations’ capabilities against the required project scope to determine whether the scope is fully
covered.

The complete list of definitions for asset life cycle activities and all disciplines in the engineering services
matrix are in T MU MD 00009 SP AEO Authorisation Model .

2.2. Application
The matrix is used by two groups, TfNSW agencies involved in procurement of maritime engineering
services and maritime suppliers as follows:

 agencies procuring maritime engineering services on behalf of TfNSW shall complete the matrix
for those engineering services they see as necessary to deliver the procured scope of work

 organisations applying for AEO status or AEOs changing the scope of their authorisation shall
complete the matrix for those maritime engineering services they wish to be authorised to provide

4. Completing the matrix

The steps for completing the matrix are as follows:

1. Review the engineering disciplines for the scope of services (listed on the vertical axis).

2. Review the asset life cycle stages the scope of services will be delivered within (listed on
the horizontal axis).

3. Insert X in the cell or cells corresponding to the engineering disciplines and asset life cycle
stages applicable to the scope of work or organisation. Each selected cell means that the
organisation is capable of, or will be expected to be capable of, delivering and assuring the
selected asset life cycle activity for the relevant engineering sub-discipline or for the stand
alone engineering service.

4. Further details for any selection may be elaborated on in the relevant notes section (for
example, 'independent design review only' or 'not authorised for the overarching integrated
engineering assurance for the selected sub-discipline activities across the lifecycle, but can
only deliver and assure each authorised activity as standalone services at request').

5. For applicant AEOs, the approved matrix is published on the ASA website and used to
support any procurement response against the project scope.

6. For TfNSW agencies involved in procurement of maritime engineering services, the matrix
provides the baseline against which tendering AEOs will confirm the engineering assurance
accountabilities of their teams (that is, who will be assuring what).

The matrix is used to provide an assessment context for applicant AEOs and to define the maritime
capabilities TfNSW expects to be undertaken to assure supply chain engineering services. More detailed
guidance and definitions are provided in T MU MD 00009 SP AEO Authorisation Model .

5. Terms and definitions

Terms and definitions used in the matrix are contained in T MU MD 00009 SP.

Matrix use:
In the version published on the ASA website an ‘X’ in a cell indicates the organisation is capable of producing or delivering and self-assuring the selected services.

Where an ‘X’ appears in a cell in the ‘Specialist engineering disciplines’ area it relates to the asset lifecycle activity for the specialist engineering sub-discipline whereas ‘X’ in a cell in the ‘Non-asset specific engineering services’ area covers the whole asset
lifecycle.

Refer to T MU MD 00009 SP for more details.
