Guidance note: Outlined in the dot-points in this Section is a high level description of the procurement model which should be updated by Procuring Agencies to reflect any Project-specific requirements. The procurement approach is further explained in Section 8 (Procurement Approach). Delete references to any content not required/relevant, for example, removal of references to: ▪ "operations" where the Project is not a full service PPP (i.e. provision of additional ancillary and operational services); and ▪ Returned Works (i.e. works to be completed by Project Co during the Development Phase and progressively handed back to their respective facility owners / operators) where the Project scope does not include Returned Works. |
The Project will be procured and delivered as an 'availability based' PPP. Under this model, Project Co (the party contracted to deliver the Project) will be responsible for:
• the design, construction and commissioning of the [insert Project asset(s)];
• [the hand back of Returned Works to Returned Asset Owners;]
• the [operation and] maintenance of the [insert Project asset(s)];
• the handover of the [insert Project asset(s)] to the State at the end of the Term; and
• the financing of the Project over the Term.
The scope of the Project is described in more detail in this Volume 1, Part A (General Information and Instructions to Respondents) and Volume 2 (Project Scope and Delivery Requirements).
The Project will be delivered under the Partnerships Victoria Framework as outlined in Section 8.1 (Partnerships Victoria Framework) of this Volume 1, Part A (General Information and Instructions to Respondents).
The Tender Process seeks to engage the private sector to competitively develop integrated Proposals that will meet the Project Objectives as outlined in Section 2.2 (Project Objectives) of this Volume 1, Part A (General Information and Instructions to Respondents).
Respondents should refer to Section 11 (Tender Process Requirements) of this Volume 1, Part A (General Information and Instructions to Respondents) for the Tender Process requirements.
Each Proposal will be evaluated in accordance with the Evaluation Criteria as detailed in Volume 1, Part B (Evaluation Criteria and Proposal Requirements).
