NSW Procurement Reforms Premiers Memorandum 2006-11

On 6 July 2006, the Acting Premier, the Hon. John Watkins, MP, released Premier's Memorandum 2006-11 on NSW Procurement Reforms.

The Memorandum supports the announcements on improving procurement outcomes made by the Premier, the Hon. Morris Iemma, MP in his February 2006 Economic and Financial Statement.

The Department of Commerce is responsible for co-ordinating the implementation of the procurement reform initiatives.

All agencies required to utilise the State Contracts Control Board (SCCB) whole-of-government contracts, effective immediately
Development and introduction of an agency accreditation scheme for goods and services by July 2007
All major agencies to implement electronic procurement of their goods and services by June 2007, with smartbuy® being the Government's default electronic procurement system
All agencies to make their Requests for Tender documentation and tenders available to be lodged through www.tenders.nsw.gov.au.
