Answered on 15 September 2020

The Department of Finance advises:

 

Contracts for the specific services at school sites in the South-West/Great Southern (including the Warren-Blackwood electorate) are split into three geographical zones:

 

·      Zone 1 – Albany and surrounds;

·      Zone 2 – Bunbury and surrounds;  and

·      Zone 3 – Narrogin and surrounds.

 

Sites in the Warren-Blackwood area spread between Zones 1 and 2.

 

(a)   (i)   Wembley Electrics (Zones 1 and 2);

(ii)   Paull and Warner Resources (Zone 1) and Chubb Fire and Security (Zone 2);

(iii)  Bug Busters (Zone 1) and Allpest (Zone 2);

(iv)  AMEK Engineering (Zone 1) and ENGIE Services (Zone 2);  and

(v)   AMEK Engineering (Zone 1) and ENGIE Services (Zone 2).

 

(b)   These services are all contracted and service a range of State government agencies, including the Department of Education.

 

(c)   Individual contracts for the services listed in (a) were tendered with a contract term of up to three years.  The contract for checking and maintaining residual current devices includes options to extend the contract term up to 10 years.  Schools in the Warren-Blackwood region are spread across two delivery zones (Zones 1 and 2).

 

(d)   These services were all procured through public open tender.  Splitting the region on geographical lines is intended to maximise opportunities for small to medium and local businesses.
