Guidance note: Where there are legal and practical difficulties of incorporating commercial opportunities into the Project asset (e.g. where the facility is a correctional facility), insert the following paragraph should be inserted:

"Notwithstanding the above, given the legal and practical difficulties of incorporating commercial opportunities into a [#insert Project asset, the State does not view commercial opportunities as a high priority for this Project."

This Section allows Respondents to propose commercial opportunities to the State provided any proposal is discussed with the State during the ITP Workshops and complies with a set of guiding principles.  Table 8 (Commercial Opportunities Guiding Principles) sets out example guiding principles but the guiding principles are to be developed by Procuring Agencies on a project-by-project basis.

This Section is currently drafted on the basis that Respondents will propose commercial opportunities as part of their Proposals.  However, where a project incorporates associated commercial development opportunities, this Section should be updated to reflect this.  Examples include integrated private medical suites, car parks, retail and food outlets.
