That the
Committee inquire into, and report on, world’s best practice with regard to the
procurement of government infrastructure projects with particular reference to:
1. the best process of gateway decision making on
the efficacy of public private partnerships compared to other procurement
methods;
2. the best procurement process and documentation;
3. the desirability of the standardisation of
procurement processes and documentation;
4. the desirability of a standard national process
and documentation for the delivery of government infrastructure within a
federal structure;
5. methods to minimise the cost of contractors
tendering for the supply of services with respect to government infrastructure;
6. methods to achieve optimal contestability in
tendering for the supply of services with respect to government infrastructure;
and
7. any other related matter.
