The ACT Government committed funding in the 2019-20 mid-year budget to explore the possible future introduction of mobile phone detection cameras in the ACT to help address the significant safety concerns arising from illegal mobile device use. The Government will consider a range of factors including the efficacy of the cameras in improving road safety, the cost of implementing the cameras and revenue analysis in deciding whether to utilise these cameras as part of the ACT road safety camera program.
Government—contracts
(Question No 3025)
Mr Coe asked the Minister for Government Services and Procurement, upon notice, on 22 May 2020:
(1) What was the total (a) number and (b) value of contracts issued by the ACT Government during each financial year from 2008-09 to 2019-20 to date broken down by (i) subject type and (ii) procurement value threshold.
(2) What was the total (a) number and (b) value of contracts issued by the ACT Government to local ACT businesses or entities during each financial year from 2008-09 to 2019-20 to date broken down by (i) subject type and (ii) procurement value threshold.
(3) What impact has the Canberra Region Local Industry Participation Policy had on procurement and contracts issued.
Ms Orr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) The Territory does not hold a central database of all contracts categorised by procurement value thresholds. However, under the Government Procurement Act 2001, each Territory entity is required to notify contracts with an estimated value of $25,000 or more on the publicly available contracts register.
Attachment A provides details of an extract from the Territory’s contracts register for the financial year 2019-20 to date (captured as at 16 June 2020), broken down by the contract values corresponding to the tender thresholds in Part 2 of the Government Procurement Regulation 2007. The ACT Government contracts register can be found at https://www.procurement.act.gov.au/registers/contracts-register.
Overall, according to the Contracts Register, so far during the 2019-20 financial year, there are a total of 798 individual contracts with a total estimated value of $642,610,942. There are 8 panels established during the same period with a total estimated value of $712,595,000.
Provision and analysis of data on the previous years commencing from 2008-09 would be an unreasonable diversion of public resources.
(2) The Territory does not hold a central database that provides identification of the number and value of contracts with local ACT businesses or entities.
