MCV Alcohol and Other Drug Services (CISP, ARC and Drug Court) Confidentiality Deed Poll

⁠⁠⁠The completed and signed Confidentiality Deed Poll is to be emailed to mcv.procurement@courts.vic.gov.au. It is in the respondent's best interest to submit their Deed as soon as possible

Please note this Invitation is confidential, and potential Respondents are required to execute a Confidentiality Deed Poll as linked to the page and submit it to CSV before receiving a copy of the Invitation.

When executing the Deed Poll, the Respondent is requested to:

(a) complete details highlighted in yellow, including the details for notices.

(b) The Confidant must be the Respondent entity seeking a copy of the Invitation, not an individual on behalf of Respondent.

(c) Signing instructions

The Deed Poll must be signed as follows:

(i) if the Respondent is a company has one or more directors, either 2 directors or a director and the secretary must sign; or

(ii) if the respondent is a company with a sole director and secretary, that person must sign.

There are alternative signing clauses in the document for Respondents to use, depending on which applies to your organisation setting.

It is essential that these are executed by the Respondents as prescribed by s127 of the Corporations Act (which sets out requirements for the execution of deeds by companies), otherwise they are likely to be unenforceable by CSV.

Please note:

It will not be sufficient for the CEO, Managing Director, or other executive (or any individual) to sign the Deed Poll as a sole signatory. If a Respondent submits a Deed Poll signed in this way, you should ask it to execute a fresh Deed Poll and to follow the applicable process in item 2 above. This means you will need to check that each Deed Poll is validly executed before releasing the Invitation to a potential Respondent.

Respondents considering forming a consortium, head contractor or other joint arrangement should note that that all prospective members must execute the Deed Poll and submit it to CSV, and the Respondent must not share the Invitation or any part of it directly with other entities until they have executed a Deed Poll.
