Tender call documents are to contain advice that there are public disclosure requirements associated with the tender process and contracts that are awarded and where those requirements can be accessed.
Tender and contract information required to be routinely disclosed is to be posted on the government website https://tenders.nsw.gov.au operated by the Department of Commerce in addition to any other location agencies choose to use. An Information Kit with contact details is available at https://tenders.nsw.gov.au/guidelines/ to assist agencies in implementing the requirements of these guidelines.
Tender information shall remain posted on the website until the tender call process has been concluded and a contract either awarded or decision made not to award any contract. Contract information shall remain posted on the website for at least 30 days or until all work or services under the contract are completed, and/or all goods under the contract are supplied, whichever is the greater period.
Where a request is made for contract information which is not required to be routinely disclosed under section 15A of the FOI Act and which is not confidential, the agency, in consultation with the person making the request, shall determine the most suitable method of providing that information.
