DRUG AND ALCOHOL SERVICES

In reply to the Hon. A. BRESSINGTON (17 May 2012).

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for State/Local Government Relations): The Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse has been advised:

1. Tender evaluation panel members' names are not publicly disclosed in order to maintain the probity of the procurement process. By not disclosing the details of tender panel members, the Department for Health and Ageing protects members from undue influence (perceived or actual) from potential respondents in respect of the evaluation of tender responses. Ensuring probity in procurement operations is a key objective of the State Procurement Act 2004.

2. The tender evaluation panel included people with clinical expertise in drug treatment, non-government contract management and drug and alcohol policy.

3. Drug and Alcohol Services South Australia were represented on the tender evaluation panel.

4. An SA Health procurement consultant with tender assessment expertise was available to the panel at all stages. Details of the job titles of the tender evaluation panel are not publicly disclosed in order to maintain the probity of the procurement process.
