WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY THE DEPUTY OF GROUVILLE
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 17th JANUARY 2017
Question
Will the Minister set out his Department's procurement policy for landscape architects wishing to tender for States work and, in so doing, will he include any restrictions which might be applied, such as minimum annual turnover?
Answer
Procurement of architectural and landscape services is undertaken in accordance with relevant States Financial Directions for the procurement of goods and services – Financial Direction 5.1 and, for larger capital projects, Financial Direction 5.6.
The Financial Directions provide for departure from a competitive process where the anticipated cost is below a designated financial threshold or an alternative approach is proposed and supported through the exemption process as set out in the Financial Directions.
In considering a submission the commissioning officer, or evaluation panel where required, will undertake appropriate financial due diligence. This will include the applicant's ability to provide suitable resources to successfully undertake the commission and such other work in which the applicant is, or may be, engaged.
The applicant will need to be able to satisfy the States standard contract conditions, particularly with regard to providing an appropriate level of insurances.
