LAVERTON HOSPITAL
1453. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the Minister for Finance:
I refer to the request for
information process for the new Laverton Hospital, which ran for just nine
days.
(1) Did the state government invite
any proponents to participate in the RFI process?
(2) How many submissions did the
state government receive as part of the RFI process?
(3) When does the state government
intend to open the expressions of interest for this project?
(4) Is the state government targeting construction to
commence in mid to late 2024, as outlined in the RFI process?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
The request for information opened
on 19 October 2023, not 31 October 2023 as indicated in my response to question
without notice 1426. The tender was open for 21 days. I apologise to the house
for the error.
(1) The RFI was released to the open
market on Tenders WA.
(2) There was one.
(3) The RFI has only just closed. Government is now
considering the information to determine the tendering approach,
contract model and construction methodology that will deliver the best outcome
for the Laverton community.
(4) Mid to late
2024 is the indicative date included in the RFI to help inform RFI submissions.
Construction dates will be finalised following contract award.
