Commonwealth Procurement Rules

The Commonwealth Procurement Rules are guidelines that govern how the Australian government purchases goods and services. They aim to ensure that procurement is fair, transparent, value-for-money, and efficient. These rules set out the processes and standards agencies must follow when buying, such as open competition, impartial decision-making, and accountability. The goal is to maximize public trust by making procurement open and responsible, preventing corruption, and ensuring taxpayer funds are used effectively. Overall, they promote integrity and best practices in government purchasing activities.
