Short Answer
Current rule requiring covered agencies to use proportionate procurement and, absent an opt-out or exemption, openly advertise goods or services opportunities worth $100,000 or more on GETS.
Key Points
- •Covered goods and services procurements at or above $100,000 must normally be openly advertised on GETS.
- •Commissioning, relational contracting and social investment contracts remain procurement approaches subject to the Rules.
- •A pilot may use a different proportionate route only where the agency's rules and documented basis allow it.
- •Lisa Foster and HCHA can support market understanding and introductions but cannot guarantee a direct Crown contract.
Full Summary & Notes
Current rule requiring covered agencies to use proportionate procurement and, absent an opt-out or exemption, openly advertise goods or services opportunities worth $100,000 or more on GETS. It explains why an introduction or small pilot cannot be represented as a route around later competition.
