Under the Western Australian Jobs Act 2017 (WA Jobs Act) and the Western Australian Industry Participation Strategy (WAIPS), the assessment of a participation plan submitted as part of an offer to supply is primarily undertaken by the procuring agency.
This set of guidelines assists assessors in determining the level of conformance with the objectives of the WA Jobs Act and the benefits and/or commitments stated in a participation plan. These guidelines are directed at agency assessment and consideration of participation plans when evaluating offers to supply in a competitive procurement process. However, the principles outlined can also offer useful guidance to an agency when assessing and considering the quality of a participation plan in a sole bid.
