Purchasing

The Registry is aware of the Commonwealth procurement guidelines which form the basis of the Registry’s Procurement Chief Executive Instruction. The Registry applies the following criteria to all procurement activities:
  • value for money;
  • open and fair competition;
  • ethics and fair dealings;
  • accountability and transparent reporting.
It is a requirement that all major procurements are subject to a tender and evaluation process. Outcomes are either ratified by an authorised delegate or the Contracts Committee. Details are recorded in the Registry’s financial management information system and the contracts register.

Whenever possible, the goods and services required by the Registry are acquired competitively from the market (either by competitive quotations or formal tenders).


Assets Management

The Registry’s main asset types are computer equipment, the bulk of which is leased, and building leasehold improvements (details of which can be found in the financial statements). Assets management is not considered to be a significant aspect of core business, therefore an assessment of the effectiveness of assets management is not reported.
