3.7.5 Reimbursement of reasonable bidding costs

The Government may decide to terminate the ‘call for detailed proposals’ process for reasons other than value for money, commercial or technical considerations.

Under these circumstances, consideration may be given to reimbursing bidders’ reasonable bidding costs. Any reimbursement will be based on the quality and quantity of information supplied by the proponent(s). Where reimbursement is paid, the agency will retain the proprietary rights to the bidding material. Any reimbursement will be at the sole discretion of the NSW Government.
