Mr Stanhope asked the Chief Minister, upon notice, on 7 March 2000:

In relation to the National Capital 100 V8 Supercar race:

1. Did the Canberra Tourism and Events Corporation let any tender for the provision of services for the event relating to

(a) sponsorship acquisition,

(b) corporate hospitality,

(c) merchandising; and

(d) concessions for the event.

2. If not, why not and on what basis was the International Management Group appointed.

3. If so,

(a) What were the tender specifications.

(b) Was it let by way of select tender, and if so, which companies were approached.

Ms Carnell: The answer to the member's question is as follows:

1 . Canberra Tourism and Events Corporation (CTEC) has contracted with International Management Group (IMG) to facilitate the provision of sponsorship, corporate hospitality, merchandising, concessions and other race day services for the GMC 400 (formerly known as the National Capital 100). To date, no contracts have been finalised by CTEC.

2. and 3. IMG has been appointed by CTEC to manage the provision of services and other activities associated with the race day events. IMG was appointed following a select tender process - the other tenderer was the Australian Racing Drivers Club (ARDC). CTEC had assessed only IMG and ARDC as organisations in Australia with the expertise and experience to undertake the sporting and events management services needed to produce a major motorsport event such as the GMC 400.

IMG was selected over ARDC by CTEC on the basis of the comprehensive list of services it could provide to assist CTEC implement the GMC 400.
