PURCHASE AND SALE OF GOODS AND SERVICES
With strengths in: Australian
Government procurement, contracts, competitive tendering
and contract management, consultancy agreements, disposal
of goods, indemnities, major capital equipment, and outsourcing/market
testing.
One of the major ways in which the AGS team helps our clients
is with the purchase and sale of goods and services, through
competitive tender or otherwise.
Our wide experience in this area covers the full range of
government activities including:
- purchase of services from minor consultancies to large-scale
service contracts including through-life support, outsourcing
and market testing
- sale of services where Australian Government agencies
act as service providers, with the unique issues that this
can raise
- purchase of major capital equipment including information
technology systems
- sale of government assets, again ranging from routine
disposal of goods to many of the largest privatisations
ever undertaken in Australia
- licensing of intellectual property rights.
AGS has unparalleled experience in the unique requirements
for government procurement and disposal processes. We recognise
the challenges for clients in developing appropriate tender
strategies, adherence to procurement guidelines, preparing
tenders, drafting Statements of Requirement, and drafting
contracts for a successful tenderer. We have extensive experience
working with clients to achieve value for money in these
areas.
We can help clients with specific projects as well as setting
up standard systems backed by standard documentation. AGS
also provides legal project management and contract management
advice.
In addition, we can provide advice both as legal adviser
and as process or probity adviser.
