The Western Australian Jobs Act 2017 allows for a procurement agency to be exempt from the procurement planning obligations within the WAIPS.
Exemptions can be granted by the Minister for State Development, Jobs and Trade or his delegate, the Director General of the Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation, in 2 ways:
- On a case-by-case basis or
- As a standing exemption in relation to a prescribed class or circumstance of WAIPS supply.
