Facilities Maintenance Services Management

333 The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (15 October 2020). Has the Department for Infrastructure and Transport engaged a PR firm in relation to AGFMA outsourcing? If so, what is the name of the firm? What services are they providing? What is the estimated cost of these services?

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

The Department for Infrastructure and Transport has engaged a specialist in stakeholder engagement to plan and independently facilitate a series of contractor workshops to inform the Future Across government Facilities Management Arrangement model. The use of an independent facilitator is considered best practice and is an important component of ensuring that trades people and business owners are provided with accurate and timely information regarding this policy.
