Creating a participation plan requirement through the WAIPS Portal generates a unique link to the participation plan template for bidders to complete. Adding the unique link into your tender request document ensures all participation plans and their subsequent reports are linked to the relevant tender.

The portal will use the estimates provided to generate the appropriate participation plan template for the bidders and to ensure that the requirement created meets the thresholds for WAIPS to apply. Provide an estimate to the best of your knowledge. This information will not be shared externally and will need to be updated before submission of the chosen participation plan(s) to WA Industry Link.
