QuestionView source ↗
(1) In additional to the broad-ranging State Government policies which allow Government agencies to favour regional suppliers of goods and services over Perth-based suppliers, (e.g., an ability to accept tenders from regional suppliers that are up to 10% higher than Perth-based tenderers), do the agencies for which the Minister is responsible have their own, additional policies or directives on regional buying preferences?
(2) Do the Government agencies for which the Minister is responsible have ‘buy local’ policies or programs so that, where reasonable and practical, preference is given to the use of local suppliers of goods or services rather than restricting or preferencing metropolitan suppliers?
(3) Do the Government agencies for which the Minister is responsible assess logistical implications and difficulties associated with the provision of goods or services by suppliers located in towns that are remote from the areas in which the goods or services are to be used when choosing successful tenderers?
(4) Do the Government agencies for which the Minister is responsible routinely request local suppliers of goods and services to submit tenders when new or renewing contracts are being let?
