Procurement

We act in accordance with the requirements of the Victorian Government Purchasing Board’s (VGPB) policies and guidelines, for procurement and contracts. See policies suppliers need to know about.

We follow the four procurement principles:

• Value for money
• Accountability
• Scalability
• Probity.

We are committed to ethical, sustainable, and socially responsible procurement. We require our suppliers to maintain the same values as the Government and comply with the Victorian Government Supplier Code of Conduct.

Procurement activity plan

For planned procurement activity for the next 12 to 18 months, see the Procurement Activity Plan 2025-26.

Note: All planned procurement projects are subject to revision or cancellation. The information in the Procurement Activity Plan is provided for planning purposes only. The plan does not represent a solicitation or constitute a request for proposal, nor is it our commitment to purchase the described goods or services.

Terms and conditions

View the Purchase Order Terms and Conditions applicable to the Supply of Goods and/or Services pursuant to purchase orders issued to our suppliers.

We will also utilise other contracts for the Supply of Goods and Services based on the scope and value of the agreements.

Tenders

We requests for tenders and expressions of interest for contracts are available from the Buying for Victoria website. In addition, we will also use other various Victorian Government platforms, such as Vendor Panel and Digital Marketplace. Suppliers interested in participating in any of the public procurement activities should visit the Victorian Government Tenders System and register as a user to set up email notifications for tender opportunities.

Social Procurement

Victoria's Social Procurement Framework (SPF) is focused on generating social value above and beyond the value of the goods, services, or construction being procured by maximising social, economic, and environmental benefits for all Victorians and opportunities for Victorian jobs. The SPF puts social and sustainable outcomes at the centre of government procurement.
