Dear NSW Treasury,

I am writing to make a formal request under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 (GIPA Act) for access to information held by the NSW Treasury. Specifically, I am seeking a list of unsuccessful bidders for Contract 622, relating to the removal of deceased, for the period of 2006 to 2019. Only when contract 622 was awarded to Statewide Mortuary Transfers P/L (SMT).

Additionally, I kindly request that you provide contact details for each of the unsuccessful bidders identified in the aforementioned list. This information is required in order to inform these businesses of their right to lodge a complaint with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).

As per my experiences and understandings, during this period, SMT claimed to have a legal registered Enterprise Agreement, that allowed them to pay less for labor, thereby giving them an advantage over their competing bidders. This information is crucial for assessing the fairness and transparency of the contract award process.

To facilitate the processing of this request, I would appreciate if you could provide the requested information in the electronic format, of PDF files if possible.

I understand that there may be fees associated with accessing the requested information. If this is the case, please inform me of the estimated costs before proceeding with the request.

I look forward to your prompt attention to this matter and your timely response within the legislated timeframe of 20 working days, as stipulated under the GIPA Act.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Yours faithfully,

Paul Tarrant
