Procurement

Our annual procurement plan (APP) outlines our expected procurement activity over the next 12 months. Access our APP from AusTender’s Annual Procurement Plan List on the AusTender website. This meets the Commonwealth Procurement Rules.

We follow guidelines for handling procurement complaints. Read more about what to do if you have a procurement complaint and how we’ll handle it.

When we issue public interest certificates

The Commonwealth Procurement Rules and the Government Procurement (Judicial Review) Act 2018 govern our procurement complaint handling process.

We can issue a public interest certificate (PIC) to allow a procurement to continue if there’s a relevant complaint. We can do this at any stage of the procurement, including before we receive a complaint. We do this when it’s not in the public interest to stop a procurement while we investigate the complaint. Our Chief Executive Officer or delegate signs a PIC.

If you use assistive technology and can’t access our certificates, please contact us. We’ll help you access them.

Services Australia has issued the following PICs:

Purchase orders
