Jul 2006

The Government recently released Mandatory Rules for Procurement by Departments (Rules). The Rules were endorsed by Cabinet in April and set out "mandatory standards and procedural requirements for the conduct of procurement by government departments". The Rules apply to all "public service departments" listed in the Schedule to the State Sector Act 1988, plus the Defence Force and the Police (Departments). However, the Government encourages their application in the wider public sector "as appropriate".
