Market-led Proposal Interim Guidelines

A framework has been released by the Victorian Government to guide unsolicited proposals from the private sector for delivering projects and services. The Market-led Proposal Interim Guidelines provides advice on how Government will assess market-led proposals, using a five stage process. Private parties are encouraged to meet with the Department of Treasury and Finance officials to discuss criteria and various requirements before preparing a proposal.

The five stages are:

1) Filtering of proposals received by government;

2) Strategic assessment and recommendation;

3) Investment case and procurement preparation;

4) Negotiation, development and assessment of final offer; and,

5) Contract award

The guidelines and more information can be found on the Department of Treasury and Finance website.
