This guideline defines a market-led proposal as one made by the private sector to government to build infrastructure and/or provide services. It originates within the private sector and involves proponents developing a project or service specification and then approaching Government for approval and support of the proposal. While market-led proposals are covered under this guideline and are therefore separate from other government procurement practices, there are many complementary principles from the Investment Government’s Lifecycle and High Value High Risk (HVHR) Guidelines and procurement practices that are relevant to these proposals. Exclusions from the guideline Types of proposals that will generally not be considered under the guideline include those that: cover procuring goods and services as detailed in Part 7A of the Financial Management Act 1994, including state purchase contracts, consultancy services, panel arrangements and standard tendering processes; seek to circumvent existing government approval processes; seek to obtain industry assistance and other grants currently available and considered through existing programs; relate to a project that Government has already decided and/or announced will be released to the market; have a combined scope, value and risk profile that does not warrant consideration in accordance with this framework; or seek to directly acquire, lease or licence a government land parcel or Crown Land without the proposal having unique characteristics supporting further consideration. Types of proposals that will not be considered under the guideline are those that relate to social housing. Any such proposal should be directed to the Office of Housing to be considered through a separate process.
