APPENDIX 3:

(Incorporated in Hansard on 12 October 1993 at page 3307)

MINISTER FOR URBAN SERVICES

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION WITHOUT NOTICE

On Tuesday, 14 September 1993 Mr Westende asked me about the number of staff allocated to the ACT Supply and Tender Agency and the cost to the community of running the Agency.

The Governments aim in establishing the Agency is that the Territorys purchasing policies and procedures should serve to stimulate growth and development by affording local industry every opportunity to compete for government business.

To date one additional full time officer has been allocated to the Agency assisted by other staff within the Supply Policy Group as necessary. This has been supplemented by support from computing staff within Public Works and Services and a consultant to assist in the development of the concepts for a computerised supply information system.

The costs incurred by the Agency since November 1992 are approximately $92,800 made.up of salaries $57,300, consultancies $12,000, computing costs, $16000 and other administrative support costs $7,500. These costs have been absorbed within the Department of Urban Services budget and no additional funding was provided.
