Guidance note: The State may wish to request that Respondents provide certain information at various stages during the RFP Phase so that the State is able to track Respondents' progress and gauge the private sector's feedback. Interim Submissions should be kept to a minimum so as not to create too onerous a workload for Respondents during the RFP Phase in excess of their RFP Proposal. One common Interim Submission on recent Partnerships Victoria PPP projects is for Respondents' proposed Departures to the State Project Documents. Careful consideration of the timing of Interim Submissions is important so that they are timed at an appropriate point during the RFP Phase to ensure that, should the State wish to make amendments to the Draft State Project Documents, this can be done well in advance of the Closing Time and Date. All Interim Submission activities and their proposed timeframes associated with their submission should be detailed in the ITP Program. If the State requires Respondents to provide Interim Submission deliverables, the deadline for the deliverables and the process for submission must be clearly communicated to Respondents. |
The State has scheduled a series of Interim Submissions to be submitted by Respondents during the RFP Phase. These activities and the proposed timeframes are detailed in Appendix 2 (ITP Program) to this ITP Plan and in Table 1 below. The purpose and the requirements of the Interim Submissions are detailed in subsequent sections of this ITP Plan.

Information received as part of any Interim Submission is considered for the ITP Process only and will not be considered as part of the evaluation of a Respondent's Proposal.
