Facilities Maintenance Services Management

334 The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (15 October 2020). Why have Spotless been carrying out audits in regional schools and towns, despite the fact the tender for the privatisation of DIT facilities management services is ongoing?

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

It is a requirement that the Across government Facilities Management Arrangements (AGFMA) Facilities Management Service Providers, being Spotless and the Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT) Facilities Services regularly inspect sites maintained under AGFMA to ensure that sites remain fit for purpose to deliver services to the community.

Spotless has been engaged by DIT Facilities Services to assist with their data inspection capacity until mid-2021.

This engagement is unrelated to the future AGFMA process as it relates to business as usual AGFMA activities.
