What is procurement anyway?
Put simply, procurement is all about getting the right goods and services to the right users, at the right time, within budget. Procurement involves more than just purchasing; it is the complete end-to-end cycle of assessing need through to the delivering of goods and services. In Queensland Government, procurement entails developing Corporate Procurement Plans and planning for significant areas of spend at both corporate and project levels.
