I thank the member for some
notice of the question and provide the following answer on behalf of the
Minister for Finance.
(1) Three tenders were received.
(2) Global supply chain and skilled workforce issues
have significantly impacted a range of projects, including the Geraldton
hospital redevelopment. As a result, all bids received were significantly
higher than the budget available for this project.
(3) The
Department of Finance advises that the evaluation report contains a significant
portion of commercial-in-confidence information. Accordingly, the minister
requests the honourable member to clarify the areas of particular interest and
he will endeavour to answer that question to the extent he can.
(4) The state
government remains committed to the redevelopment of Geraldton regional
hospital, and new time frames will be confirmed once a tender is awarded.
