Police force—advertising
(Question No 1574)

Mr Pratt asked the Minister for Police and Emergency Services, upon notice, on 22 June 2004:

(1) Who holds the current advertising contract for A.C.T. Policing;

(2) How long have they held the contract;

(3) Did this company produce the current television advertising campaign for ACT Policing; if not, who did;

(4) Did the contract for the current A.C.T. Policing advertising campaign go out to tender;

(5) If so, (a) when was the tender process advertised, (b) where was it advertised and (c) how many people or companies tendered for the contract;

(6) If the contract did not go out to tender, why not.

Mr Wood: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) There is currently no advertising contract between ACT Policing and any advertising agency. However, there is a contract between the Commonwealth Government and HMA Blaze for newspaper advertising placements (not creative or copywriting) which the Australian Federal Police and hence, ACT Policing is entitled to use from time to time.

(2) Not Applicable.

(3) No. Orima Research, Zoo Creative, Gamalla Photography and Bearcage Film Productions combined to produce the campaign.

(4) No. Five agencies were approached and three agencies submitted bids for concept and delivery against established criteria. A selection was made from the bids for a preferred provider.

(5) Not applicable.

(6) The contract did not go out to tender because there is already a list of advertising agencies accredited by the (Australian) Government Communications Unit from which several were selected to respond to our approaches as per question three.
