Facilities Maintenance Services Management

337 The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (15 October 2020). What consultation did the state government undertake with clients prior to cabinet's decision in June 2020 to privatise 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:

Prior to cabinet's decision in June 2020 a number of clients had and continue to have an opportunity to provide feedback on future Across government Facilities Management Arrangements (AGFMA) initiatives. This input has included a multi-agency Steering Committee overseeing the wider program involving executives from:

Department for Infrastructure and Transport;

Department of Health and Wellbeing;

Department for Education;

South Australia Police;

Department of Environment and Water;

Department for Correctional Services; and

Primary Industry and Resources South Australia.

Collectively these agencies represent over 80 per cent of the total annual spend within the AGFMA.
