In reply to Mr BASHAM (Finniss) ((22 June 2022).). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. B.I. BOYER (Wright—Minister for Education, Training and Skills): I have been advised for TAFE SA:

The estimated total cost for engagement of consultants and contractors in 2022-23 is $5,470,000 (GST exclusive).

Please note that the list and values below are based on existing purchase orders with services to be delivered throughout the 2022-23 financial year as at the time this report was prepared (29 July 2022). This list does not yet include budgeted services for 2022-23 that have yet to be engaged using TAFE SA's formal procurement processes.

TAFE SA procurement policies and processes comply with the relevant Treasury Instructions and operates in alignment with Procurement Services SA framework.

It should also be noted that the list of contractors and consultants' expenditure is reported to and reviewed by the TAFE SA Board on a monthly basis.

No external consultants have been engaged at a total estimated cost above $10,000, for 2022-23.

The following is an estimated summary of external contractors that have been engaged at a total estimated cost above $10,000, the nature of work undertaken, and the estimated cost for 2022-23.
