Government procurement

The Queensland Procurement Policy contains the broader rules under which procurement is conducted by all government agencies. Each agency then has its own more detailed purchasing procedures, which sets out how their officers will buy goods and services.

Further general information about procurement is available from the Queensland Government website.

Private sector organisations doing business with government are asked to comply with our business expectations to protect the integrity of government business.

Please contact us for more information on our policies and procedures.

Tenders and contracts

The Queensland Government Conditions of Offer ( 221.2 KB) apply to all tenders released by the department.
