Tendering and Purchasing

Tendering and Purchasing Information

All DPS open business opportunities are available via Austender.

From time to time DPS will also advertise details of tenders/expression of interest in the press for contracts within the Department.

Information for Suppliers

The Commonwealth Department of Finance and Deregulation has developed a publication entitled Selling to the Australian Government: A guide for business. The publication can be downloaded from its website at http://www.finance.gov.au/procurement/

DPS uses the Commonwealth General Purchase Order Conditions (GPOC) as its standard conditions of purchase.
