(a) The Department of Treasury and Finance ruled BGC's tender non-conforming to the advertised tender requirements. BGC obtained an injunction restraining the State from awarding a contract without considering BGC's tender. There remained uncertainty about the conformance of tenders, and about when a contract could be awarded. The decision to reject all tenders was taken to ensure all tenderers were treated equally and fairly, and to enable the process to select a contractor to construct the facility to proceed with certainty.
(b) All tenders were rejected on 4 January 2010. New tenders were requested on
21 January 2010.
(c) Tenders closed on 11 February 2010.
(d) A contract was awarded to BGC Construction on 24 March 2010.
(e) The original project budget was $71,400,000. Due to very competitive tenders being received, the revised budget is $54,400.000.
(f) The Under Treasurer, after taking advice from the State Solicitor's Office and with agreement by the Director General of the Department of Health.
(g) The former Treasurer Hon. Troy Buswell MLA was advised of the decision by the Under Treasurer.
(h) No.
(i) N/A.
(ii) N/A.
