Question
I
refer to question without notice 123, in relation to the
Geraldton Health Campus, and I ask:
(a) will the Minister please
provide a breakdown of the expenditure to date, including the name of the
service provider or contractor, the value of the service provided and the
nature of the service provided;
(b) for
each person or organisation identified in (a), please identify which are
considered ‘local’ contractors; and
(c) how
does the Minister define a ‘local’ contractor?
Answered on 12 May 2020
I am advised:
(a)-(b) See tabled paper no.
(c) A contractor/service provider is defined as 'local' if they meet the criteria to claim a regional business preference under the Buy Local Policy.
In addition, the regional business preference is only available to regional businesses that bid and manage/deliver the majority of the contract outcomes from their regional business location.
