Questions without notice taken on notice

Trade unions—memorandum of understanding

Mr Rattenbury (in reply to a supplementary question by Mrs Jones on Thursday, 7 April 2016): The MOU has the aim of ensuring the Government contracts only with organisations that meet their industrial relations and work health and safety obligations. Mechanisms for this include prequalification and use of the Ethical Suppliers Declaration. No tenderers have been ruled out of consideration for a tender as a result of union comments on the lists of tenderers in regard to the AMC Expansion Project.

Trade unions—memorandum of understanding

Mr Rattenbury (in reply to a supplementary question by Mr Wall on Thursday, 7 April 2016): ACT Corrective Services has had no contact with union organisations in regard to the tendering companies for the AMC Expansion Project, or other projects.

Consistent with ACT Government processes, Procurement and Capital Works (PCW) provides a list of tenderers for each tender received by Tenders ACT (or the Tender Box prior to the introduction of Tenders ACT) to UnionsACT for all capital infrastructure works. This included the AMC Expansion Project. PCW also provides this list to the Environment Protection Authority and the Long Service Leave Authority, and publishes the list of tenderers on the web. Only tenderers’ business names are provided and published. No private details are provided.
