When a business or not-for-profit organisation approaches the government with a proposal that hasn't formally been requested and doesn't fit into existing procurement processes, it's known as an unsolicited proposal.
Unsolicited proposals can cover a wide range of areas, including:
- the delivery of services to or on behalf of government
- the provision of infrastructure
- access to government assets
- seeking government support (financial, regulatory or other) to undertake an activity.
Who can lodge a proposal
The state government welcomes unsolicited proposals from the community and wants to work with the private sector to identify new and innovative ways to drive the state's development.
