Businesses tendering or quoting for work are obligated to complete an Industry Participation Plan (IP Plan) or a Tailored Industry Participation Plan as required by the Responsible Government Agency.
There will be different templates if the contract is performed in Metropolitan Adelaide or in Regional South Australia, so please see refer to Industry Participation Policy Procedural Guidelines.
All Industry Participation Policy threshold values are GST inclusive and the threshold values refer to the total price you are quoting in your tender response. This includes all options and possible extensions offered.
Assessments of economic contribution can be at any scale. For example, depending on the procurement, South Australia assesses economic contribution at a state-wide level as well as at a regional level.
Quick Tip - A high scoring Industry Participation Plan does not guarantee your business will win a tender. The evaluation process will take into account a range of factors to determine what is the best value for money outcome, so your bid should cover ALL of the required criteria.
