State Procurement Board

Introduction

On this page you will find information detailing the State Procurement Board’s Policy Framework.

This Framework supports the object of the State Procurement Act 2004 and advances government priorities and objectives by a system of procurement for public authorities directed towards:

a) obtaining value for money in the expenditure of public money;
b) providing for ethical and fair treatment of participants; and
c) ensuring probity, accountability and transparency in procurement operations.

Policies and guidelines are developed through consultation with public authorities and promote good procurement management practices that recognise differences in the complexity, risk and value of procurement proposals, ensuring a more consistent approach to procurement planning and decision-making across government.
