Dear Michael Chung
Request for Information – Local Government Official Information and Meetings
Act (the Act) 1987
We refer to your email of 30 October 2024 for:
The ROI for the Ricoh Sports Centre states that if multiple candidates are
shortlisted after evaluation then these candidates wil be invited to
participate in a second stage Request for Proposals (RFP) process. If only
one candidate was considered viable then Council reserves the right to
enter into direct negotiations.
Did Council shortlist multiple candidates? If so, could Council please
provide a copy of the RFP and any associated documents that were
provided to shortlisted candidates?
I also request a copy of any documents associated with the evaluation
process. For clarity this includes any records of the evaluation process, and
any documents provided to evaluation panel members in relation to the
evaluation process.
Response:
Council invited four submitters to proceed to the RFP. Three took up the option
and two submitted RFPs, with one late withdrawal. That process is stil underway.
Once this process has been completed, we wil be able to release the RFP
documents.
