Facilities Services

325 The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (15 October 2020). Will a private management provider continue to provide work to regional small businesses and tradies, rather than shipping in Adelaide-based contractors?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing): I have been advised:

The future Across Government Facilities Management Arrangements contracts will include provisions that will place commitments and obligations on the new providers to ensure that local work is undertaken by local trades with a focus on regional employment, including opportunities for those same trades that perform works currently.
