About
Standing exemptions are available to agencies required to complete WAIPS requirements but have frequent or repetitive procurements which align with one exemption category. A standing exemption request must be submitted via email to WA Industry Link. If approved, management of the exempt supplier’s contract is completed through the WAIPS Portal.
If your procurement conditions align with one of the exemption categories, follow the steps below to submit a standing exemption request:
Request a standing exemption
- Prepare a Standing Exemption Application Letter using the template.
- Email the completed application letter to the WA Industry Link.
- WA Industry Link will review the application and respond within 15 working days. If you have not received a response within this timeframe, please contact the WA Industry Link.
- If approved, record exempt tenders in the WAIPS Portal via the Apply for a Participation Plan Exemption form. Learn how to complete the portal form through the WAIPS Portal user guide for agencies.
