The Arbitration Rules for use with the Public Works and Construction Services Contracts (AR1) requires that each arbitrator appointed to an arbitration case under the Capital Works Management Framework to notify the National Procurement Policy Unit in my Department of their appointment within 14 days after accepting appointment. The arbitrators are also required to submit a copy of the findings of any arbitration in relation to these contracts on a non-confidential basis to the Secretariat of the Government Construction Contracts Committee to facilitate the monitoring and analysis of disputes in relation to these contracts. To date one notification of appointment and one interim recommendation has been received, both in 2012, in my Department.
