When regulation 11(1), 12(2) or 13 requires tenders to be publicly invited, Statewide public notice of the invitation is to be given.
If the CEO has, under regulation 23(4), prepared a list of acceptable tenderers, instead of giving Statewide public notice the CEO is required to give notice of the invitation to each acceptable tenderer listed.
If a local government —
is required to invite a tender; or
not being required to invite a tender, decides to invite a tender,
the local government must, before tenders are publicly invited, determine in writing the criteria for deciding which tender should be accepted.
The notice, whether under subregulation (1) or (2), is required to include —
a brief description of the goods or services required; and
particulars identifying a person from whom more detailed information as to tendering may be obtained; and
information as to where and how tenders may be submitted; and
the date and time after which tenders cannot be submitted.
In subregulation (3)(b) a reference to detailed information includes a reference to —
such information as the local government decides should be disclosed to those interested in submitting a tender; and
detailed specifications of the goods or services required; and
the criteria for deciding which tender should be accepted; and
whether the local government has decided to submit a tender.
[(e) deleted]
After a notice has been given under subregulation (1) or (2), a local government may vary the information referred to in subregulation (3) by taking reasonable steps to give each person who has sought copies of the tender documents or each acceptable tenderer, as the case may be, notice of the variation.
