13 Affiliation between applicant or bidder and previous successful bidder

(1) An applicant or bidder is affiliated with a previous successful bidder if: (a) the applicant or bidder and the previous successful bidder are associates of each other; or (b) the specified group of persons in relation to the applicant or bidder has at least one member in common with the specified group of persons in relation to the previous successful bidder.

Note: Paragraph 13(1)(b) means that an applicant or bidder is affiliated with a previous successful bidder if the applicant or bidder and the previous successful bidder have an associate in common.

(2) If an applicant or bidder is affiliated with a previous successful bidder, the applicant or bidder and the previous successful bidder are taken to be in a single specified group of persons for the purpose of the allocation limits.

Note: Section 13 is recursive, so that one or more previous successful bidders, and one or more applicants or bidders, may be taken to be in a single specified group of persons for the purpose of the allocation limits.
