Procurement

Procurement at the SEC is underpinned by four procurement principles:

• Value for money: including quality, cost, fitness for use, capability, capacity, risk and whole-of-life cost.
• Accountability: the ability to act and to be responsible for actions taken and decisions made in a transparent manner.
• Scalability: having procurement governance processes that are appropriate and efficient, considering the capability of available resources and the complexity of the procurement undertaken.
• Probity: ensuring ethical behaviour by implementing accountable, transparent processes and maintaining accurate records.

The Victorian Government Purchasing Board (VGPB) sets the policies that govern procurement of non-construction goods and services across all Victorian government departments and some specified entities.

The SEC Complaints Management Procedure sets out the requirements for managing complaints directly related to a procurement process.
