I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(2) The
tender document was publicly available on Tenders WA and is attached for the
member's information. As per the normal process, Crowdicity was issued
with a letter of appointment referring to the contract specification details in
the tender document.
[See paper 2767.]
(3) Of the 12 submissions received —
(a) two were Western Australian
based;
(b) eight were Australian based; and
(c) two were internationally based.
(4) Crowdicity
was the only tender that passed the qualitative test on all criteria. It then
went through further assessment prior to being offered the contract.
(5) ''Ideas
Management System Solution'' is a cloud-based software system that will
be used to crowdsource ideas from across the WA public sector. With around 140 000
employees, the WA public sector has an enormous wealth of knowledge, experience
and ideas and provides a significant base for innovation and understanding the
local public sector context.
