Facilities Maintenance Services Management

328 The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (15 October 2020). What measures are in place to ensure that secondary businesses that rely on DIT contractors (such as a hardware store that a DIT contractor sources materials and tools from) won't be worse off as a result of the privatisation of DIT facilities management services?

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

All future AGFMA proponents that progress through an expression of interest process will be required to submit a response to the Office of the Industry Advocate's Tailored Industry Participation Plan (TIPP) as part of their tender response. This response must detail how they will ensure that local labour and suppliers are engaged. This TIPP will be evaluated as part of the procurement process and will have oversight from The Office of the Industry Advocate throughout the life of the contract.
