Senator Chris Evans
asked the Minister representing the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, upon notice, on 22 June 2006:
(1) (a) Are the tender processes for Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) contracts competitive-based; (b) on what criteria are the tenders assessed; and (c) is price a key factor in awarding a contract.
(2) Are organisations seeking CDEP contracts given preference over other applicants if they: (a) are Indigenous community-run; (b) provide culturally-appropriate service; (c) have a sound governance structure and management; (d) already run CDEP; and (e) currently support incubating businesses using CDEP participants.
(3) Please list CDEP providers who have been advised that they will no longer administer CDEP from 1 July 2006.
(4) For each of the above CDEP providers: (a) what is the name of the organisation which has picked up that contract; and (b) on what basis was the change made.
(5) How many Job Network Agencies serviced Indigenous communities in the financial years: (a) 2004-05; and (b) 2005-06, please indicate the number of physical sites.
Senator Abetz (Minister for Fisheries, Forestry and Conservation)
—The Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations has provided the following answer to the honourable senator’s question:
(1) Allocation of contracts for the CDEP programme was through a competitive funding process. For 2006-07 the Department assessed all applications for CDEP funding against published evaluation criteria. The evaluation criteria used were: ⢠Demonstrated need for CDEP activities and the benefits to the participants and the community. ⢠Demonstrated capacity of the organisation to effectively deliver a funding programme. ⢠Demonstrated organisational standards of governance and conduct to effectively deliver the CDEP programme. ⢠Demonstrated financial viability and acceptable risk assessment. Price is not a key factor in awarding a contract.
(2) All organisations were assessed against the evaluation criteria.
(3) See Attachment A.
(4) See Attachment A. All organisations were assessed against the evaluation criteria.
(5) Indigenous Australians are assisted by all 1065 Job Network sites across the country as part of their general employment services.
Attachment A
Current CDEP organisations that will not be funded in 2006-07.
