The role also oversees the delivery of local content commitments that maximize opportunities for the local industry. The bidder receives a high risk rating if it has provided limited or inaccurate information in its LIDP or if it has made a commitment to local content that the ICN considers difficult to achieve. It is therefore recommended that the procurement agency endeavour to clarify all issues reported so that an achievable commitment to local content can be decided. Local Jobs First (LJF) aims to create local jobs and opportunities for Victorian businesses and workers, and to ensure they have the full and fair opportunity to apply for Victorian Government contracts, large and small. The risk assessment report shall not assess or rank one LIDP against another, but shall only indicate the relative benefits and/or potential risks in terms of local content and employment commitments that will not be met, based on the information provided by the tenderer. As part of its Local Employment First policy, the Victorian Government has established local content requirements for 227 strategic projects since December 2014. The Victorian government is the largest supplier of goods, services and construction to the state, contributing to the development of local industries, job creation and economic stimulation. Through this policy, Victoria has a strong mandate to promote local jobs and skills for large-scale projects funded and supported by the government. LIDPs are used to inform the bid evaluation process, including the evaluation of bids for their local content commitments, taking into account the likelihood of completion. Industry development has a weighting of 10 per cent in the evaluation criteria as well as a weighting of 10 per cent for the performance of jobs.

A low risk rating means that there is a low risk that the bidder will not meet its local content and employment obligations. The bidder will have provided detailed and accurate information in all sections of the LIDP. The bidder will have conducted extensive research on the local industry and developed local content figures that accurately reflect current capabilities in Victoria, Australia and New Zealand. “I would like to welcome Ms. Moana Weir to her role as local employment commissioner first, as she supports our state`s economic and social recovery by bringing more Victorians into local jobs.” Garry Holding is the regional industrial consultant for Ballarat and the Grampians.

Garry is passionate about helping local profits. He truly enjoys this role and being part of a dedicated professional team focused on supporting the growth of the business is full of rewards. Minimum local content requirements will be set for government projects valued at $50 million or more, or for other agreed projects. Victoria`s Local Jobs First Act 2003 is Australia`s oldest mandatory local content law, requiring all government departments and agencies to apply local content for contracts valued at $1 million or more in the Victoria area or $3 million or more in the greater Melbourne area. It also requires the creation of employment opportunities for Victorian apprentices, interns and cadets on projects worth more than $20 million. A medium risk rating means that there is a medium risk that the bidder will not meet its local content and employment obligations. The Bidder will have provided a reasonable (satisfactory) amount of information, but there will be some inconsistencies and a moderate amount of clarification may be sought from the Agency to resolve these issues.

A Local Industry Development Plan (LIDP) is a key document in the delivery of Local Jobs First. The size and complexity of the CAAD required for a project reflects the needs of each project. Bidders must detail how they will work with local industry and also clear commitments to local content and jobs to be delivered as part of a project. For Jobs First local strategic projects, IDPs must meet the minimum prescribed local content requirements established by the government. “I look forward to working closely with industry and across government to drive economic recovery and promote opportunities for local workers through the Victorian Government`s procurement.” To ensure compliance, a completed LIDP must be confirmed by the ICN prior to submitting your tender documents. Our role and policy could not be more important as Australia recovers from the effects of COVID-19 and the desire for sovereign capabilities has never been stronger. Weir replaces the first Commissioner, Don Matthews, who retired in 2021. The CAAD is completed as an online form through the Victorian Management Centre (MVC).
