The Proposal evaluation will consider whether and how Respondents comply with the VIPP in accordance with the requirements set out in Volume 1, Part B (Evaluation Criteria and Proposal Requirements). This is done through assessment of Respondents' Local Industry Development Plan (LIDP).
Respondents must prepare a LIDP. In developing their LIDPs, Respondents must consult in good faith with Industry Capability Network Victoria (ICN). The LIDP template must include the information outlined in Table 11 (LIDP Information Requirements). The LIDP template must be completed and uploaded to the VIPP Management Centre at www.icnvic.org.au/vipp.
A copy of the VIPP Local Industry Development Plan Guide that contains the information to prepare the LIDP is attached as Appendix 9 (Local Jobs First - VIPP Local Industry Development Plan Guide) to Volume 1, Part B (Evaluation Criteria and Proposal Requirements).
