(a) Western Power's Foundation and Transformation Programs business area engaged Deloitte to provide specialist advice to help achieve greater efficiencies in delivering its $1 billion works program for 2012/13.
The advice provided by Deloitte has helped Western Power implement change management initiatives across its large workforce and improve its information regarding the condition of the network. This is helping Western Power to ensure it is focussing its resources on the areas of the network that need it most, saving both time and money.
(b) The total contracted sum was $575,988. Deloitte is on Western Power's preferred vendor list.
(c) The contracts were not publicly advertised. However, they were awarded consistent with Western Power's procurement policy, which is designed to ensure a competitive process and secure the best value for money. The preferred vendor list allows Western Power to make prudent contractual and investment decisions in line with State Government procurement principles.
(d) The figure provided at b) above includes 325 days of work by a number of Deloitte staff with different hourly rates, depending on their skills and experience. However, on average, the amount equates to $236 per hour.
