Procurement by alliance contracting will need to comply with the Northern Territory Government's legislative framework for procurement, including the Procurement Act, Procurement Regulations and Procurement Directions. In particular requirements in relation to Local Development and Value Adding, including Industry Participation Plans and Indigenous Development Plans, will need to be included in the tender and contract documents.
Where tenders or proposals are sought based on non-price criteria only, exemptions under section 5 of the Procurement Act may need to be sought and obtained.
As the use of conditions for Alliance contracting depart from the NTG standard suite of conditions, they will require approval from the Procurement Policy Unit in the Department of Business and Employment prior to being issued to tender.
