What you need to know
- If you're new to procurement, we recommend you follow our best practice approach.
- There are certain things you must be aware of before you buy, such as the NSW Government’s procurement objectives. You must keep these in mind every time you procure.
- You should also make sure you know your agency's procurement accreditation status, as this will impact your ability to buy.
- Construction industry procurements work a little differently to others and it’s important you know some of the key differences.
- There are other factors you should also keep in mind before you procure, including understanding whether your procurement is a ‘covered procurement’ and, if so, which extra rules apply.
