TENDERING

AGS lawyers can bring broad expertise, innovative strategies and practical solutions to any government tendering and contracting project. They regularly assist clients by:

  • designing tender specifications, procedures and strategies
  • drafting requests for tender, quotations and proposals
  • designing tender evaluation plans and associated processes
  • providing probity advice and probity auditing services
  • advising on risk management generally
  • drafting, negotiating and advising on contractual terms and conditions
  • advising on procuring and disposing of assets, including large privatisations
  • outsourcing, consultancy agreements and contracting out
  • negotiating warranties, indemnities, limitations on liability and securities
  • strategic planning, change management and project management.

Our lawyers know the requirements of financial management and corporate governance legislation, regulations and directions, as well as the Australian Government Procurement Guidelines and associated directions from the Department of Finance and Deregulation. They also understand the importance of achieving the best commercial outcome for their clients from the tender process.

In addition, our extensive experience allows us to anticipate and plan for logistical, commercial and practical issues that may arise in a tender process well before they occur.

See Commercial notes No. 11 ‘Confidentiality of tender documents’ 7 September 2004, Commercial notes No. 15 'Managing probity and process issues in procurement' 14 March 2005, Commercial notes No. 16 ‘New Procurement Guidelines’ 10 June 2005.
