HEALTH — PROGRAM TENDER PROCESS
1141. Hon
Dr BRAD PETTITT to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for
Health:
I refer the minister to the recent tender
process entered into by the Department of Health for the family-based early
intervention for childhood obesity program.
(1) How many tenders were received?
(2) Of that total, how many were from organisations
based in Western Australia, and how many from interstate?
(3) Was any
weighting given to local Western Australian–based tenders, on the basis
that these would be of additional economic value to the state?
(4) For the
period of the contract, how much money is the state government currently
sending interstate to deliver that program across Western Australia?

(l)–(4) Procurement
for the family-based early intervention for child obesity program was conducted
by the Department of Health through a competitive
open-tender process in accordance with the Western Australian government's
delivering community services in partnership policy. Although there is an
intent to support Western Australian organisations, tender evaluation panels
are also required to focus on value-for-money considerations. The nature of
tenders received through a community services procurement process is that
tenders remain strictly confidential and details of the offers received cannot
be disclosed. Importantly, the successful respondent is contributing to local employment
within Western Australia and engaging local suppliers to contribute to service
delivery.
