Management Plan, a Local Industry Participation Plan (LIPP). Implementation of the LIPP will be demonstrated and managed via the procurement process by either:
a. inclusion of the LIPP as part of the Tender Evaluation. For example, tenderers will be requested to submit known and/or intended ACT and local NSW content; or
b. developing a Tender List by utilising the Industry Capability Network (ICN) database, and/or by selecting known local suppliers and subcontractors.
The successful implementation of the LIPP will also allow the project to become eligible for the Enhanced Project By-law Scheme (EPBS), an Australian Government initiative that provides tariff duty concessions on overseas goods (i.e.eligible equipment or goods from overseas can be imported duty free).
(6) Local suppliers will have the opportunity to provide their products or services under the arrangements set out in the response to question 5.
