General Procurement Policy Information

The fundamental objective of the NSW Government Procurement Policy is to ensure that government procurement activities achieve best value for money in supporting the delivery of government services. The Policy emphasises agency accountability for outcomes, and greater upfront planning and stronger linkage with the State Budget process prior to allocation of capital funding.
