There is an article in today’s Financial Review which claims that an organisation called TenderSearch is the experienced group doing the tender for the external review into Flightwatch. (See
here.) I’ve been to the TenderSearch website and there seems to be nothing. Also the Airservices website does not seem to have any reference.
Interestingly enough, some 12 weeks since the then Minister Mark Vaile announced that there was to be an external review into Flightwatch, this article says in relation to the tender:
The breakneck pace is in stark contrast to the endemic grizzling about endless delays, stalled tenders and indecisive public sector executives characteristic of the previous 12 years in federal contracting.
Is this actually a tender to do the external review with the details of what is required, or is it a tender to get someone to state how they would do an external review?
