### sec.221 Significant contracting plans
This section applies if the contracting plan identifies any significant contracts.
The local government must make a significant contracting plan for each significant contract before the contract starts.
A significant contracting plan is a document stating—
the objectives of the significant contract; and
how the objectives are to be achieved; and
how achievement of the objectives will be measured; and
any alternative ways of achieving the objectives, and why the alternative ways were not adopted; and
proposed contractual arrangements for the activity; and
a risk analysis of the market in which the contract is to happen.
The objectives must be consistent with the local government’s contracting plan.
The local government may, by resolution, amend a significant contracting plan at any time before the end of the financial year to which the plan relates.
