Our procurement approach
Our commitment
As a Queensland Government-owned statutory body, we follow the Queensland Procurement Policy 2026 (QPP).
This means we:
- seek value for Queensland
- create opportunities for local suppliers
- make it easy for suppliers to do business with us
- stay open to new ideas
- consider the economic, environmental and social impacts of our decisions.
We aim to achieve the best outcomes for our people and the community we serve.
Government supply arrangements
Where possible, we buy through the Queensland Government Arrangements Directory, which includes:
- standing offer arrangements
- preferred supplier panels.
These panels are managed by various government agencies.
If you’d like to find out more about a panel, please contact the panel’s listed contact person.
Open market procurement
If we can’t find a suitable supply arrangement, we’ll go to market.
We do this through the Queensland Government VendorPanel Marketplace.
If you’re a registered supplier, you’ll get alerts when opportunities match your services.

Working with us
Supplier Code of Conduct
All suppliers need to follow the Queensland Government Supplier Code of Conduct (2026).
The code explains:
- what the government expects from businesses that work with us
- what it means to be a responsible supplier.
Purchase Orders and terms
If you’re selected to supply goods or services, we’ll issue you a Purchase Order (PO).
The PO will include a link to our terms and conditions.
For purchases under $50,000
We use the Queensland Government Basic Purchasing Conditions. In some cases, we may agree to different terms.
For purchases over $50,000
We’ll work with you to agree on terms and conditions.
Before you start work
Please keep in mind:
- Do not start any work until you’ve received a PO number from us.
- You must include the PO number on all invoices.
