Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1999 Week 6 Hansard (22 June) . . Page.. 1744 ..
Mr Stanhope asked the Chief Minister, upon notice, on 4 May 1999:
In relation to the supply of uniforms to all ACT Government employees since 1 July 1998 -
(1) What contracts has the Government (a) let for the supply of uniforms and (b)
what is their value.
(2) Which of the contracts listed in (1) have gone to suppliers from outside
Canberra.
(3) Which of those interstate contracts replaced local suppliers.
Ms Carnell
: The answer to the Member's question is as follows:(1) (a) The only contract let since 1 July 1998 for the supply of uniforms was by
Calvary Hospital on 29 March 1999 for the supply of uniforms to the majority
of its staff.
(b) It is not possible to place a dollar value on the contract. Several variables will determine need, including staff turnover, wear and tear and timing of uniform requirements.
(2) The contract mentioned in (1) above, was let to a company from outside
Canberra. That company is Uniform Management Services, from South
Australia.
(3) The contract mentioned in (1) above did not replace a local supplier. Calvary
Hospital previously sourced its uniforms from three suppliers. Those suppliers
were:
Yakka, a NSW company with no staff in Canberra;
Fletcher Jones, a Victorian company with two retail outlets in Canberra;
and Neat N Trim, a Victorian company with one outlet in Canberra.
