In May 2015, Cbus and Australia Post submitted an MLP to the state. They proposed to build a new Victoria Police headquarters, the VPC, on a vacant site at 311 Spencer Street in Melbourne's CBD. This site is next to the existing City West Police Complex.
The 2015 interim MLP guideline required VFM assessments for MLPs to include:
In an MLP, the private sector makes an unsolicited approach to government for support to deliver infrastructure or services through direct negotiation rather than a competitive procurement process. The private sector usually asks the government for financial support but may also ask for regulatory or other forms of assistance.
The government issued a new guideline and established a five-stage process for considering MLPs in early 2015 and declared that MLPs would only succeed if found to be unique, VFM and in the public interest.
In a market-led proposal (MLP), the private sector makes an unsolicited approach to government for support to deliver infrastructure or services through direct negotiation rather than a competitive procurement process. The private sector usually asks the government for financial support, but may also ask for regulatory or other forms of assistance.
