Agencies’ procurement policies and internal procedures guide staff in their procurement activities. They explain the internal processes they use to do their procurement.

How to write a procurement policy

Why publishing is important

Publishing these policies lets suppliers understand the agency’s processes and should drive transparency, consistency, predictability and stronger agency accountability. Agencies should ensure their published policies are easy to access online.

Ensuring staff have relevant skills and capability is important. Agencies are responsible for ensuring that staff engaged in procurement have the relevant skills and capability to undertake procurement, including understanding the Principles, Charter and these Rules.
