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.
