Hi s47F
Sixth addendum for review at this link. I’ve at ached the original emails (and the legal advice for the first question) as wel.
For the incubator employing RIF question there is a section highlighted in yelow which I’m undecided if we need in or not. Let me know what
you think.
I was thinking that we should wait to see if any other questions come in today before sending this one off to Procurement for publishing so we
can just add to it as needed. That ok with you?

REQUEST FOR TENDER (RFT) NO. PRI00003859 
Regional Incubator Facilitators 
ADDENDUM NUMBER 6 
Questions and Answers 
As at 1 February 2018  
Question 1. 
Is an Incorporated Not For Profit, which has Annual Audits, eligible 
under the entry criteria? Could a Not For Profit with annual Auditing be 
considered as an applicant under this application process or is it strictly 
for a Registered Company with a ACN? 
Answer 1. 
For the avoidance of doubt, to be a successful tenderer you must be, or must 
become, a company incorporated under the Corporations Act 2001 (the Act) 
with an Australian Company Number.
It is not sufficient to be, or to become, an entity incorporated  under another 
piece of legislation or to be registered under the Act as a registered Australian 
body with an Australian Registered Body Number. 
The department cannot provide advice on your eligibility for being 
incorporated under the Act. You should contact ASIC if you require any 
further information on becoming company incorporated under the Act. 
Question 2. 
If an applicant has or is employmed or subcontracted with a Business 
Incubator would that Incubator still be eligible to apply for Regional 
Incubator funding?
Answer 2. 
To be eligible to participate in the Regional Incubator Facilitator request for 
tender, all tenderers must meet the conditions of participation. These 
conditions do not preclude companies from tendering where they have 
received or intend to apply for the Incubator Support Initiative.  
If a company was successful in the tender process for the Regional Incubator 
Facilitator role this would also not preclude the company from applying for the 
Incubator Support initiative.

-2- 
Eligibility of applications under the Incubator Support initaitive is determined 
at the time of application in line with the eligibility criteria outlined in the 
Programme Guidelines available on business.gov.au.  
If a company that is an incubator or provides incubator services was successful 
in the tender process, the company would need to ensure that the individual 
fulfilling the Regional Incubator Facilitator services: 
 did not complete any work for the incubator, for example, but not 
limited to, delivery of programs and services, promotion of the 
incubator’s services; 
 is engaged solely to conduct Regional Incubator Faciltiator 
services; 
 and there is a clear and visible separation between the Regional 
Incubator Facilitator and the incubator. 
In addition, the Regional Incubator Facilitator would not be able to provide 
assistance to the incubator or review it’s applications in relation to the 
Incubator Support initaitive. A different Regional Incubator Facilitator would 
be allocated to conduct these activities. 
It is also noted that successful tenderers need to ensure compliance with the 
contract clauses, including those related to confidentialiy and conflict of 
interest, and this would continue to apply in the described situation.
