It is recognised that these Guidelines must be applied to a wide range of different types of projects.
Given this, and in the spirit of efficiently procuring infrastructure and in keeping bid costs as low as possible, there may be cases where it is appropriate to depart from the processes set out in these Guidelines.
Where this is the case, the procuring agency should seek approval from NSW Treasury. Depending on the circumstances, Treasury may seek approval from the Treasurer or the Budget Committee of Cabinet (BCC).
