Code of Conduct for the Queensland public sector

Members of the public service must comply with the Code of Conduct for the Queensland public sector.

Procurement Policy

The Queensland Procurement Policy contains the broader rules under which procurement is conducted by all government agencies. Each agency then has its own more detailed purchasing procedures, which sets out how their officers will buy goods and services.

Further general information about procurement is available from the Queensland Government website.
