Where would general government policy require the use of a government provider?
The procurement of property or services by an agency from other Commonwealth, State, Territory or Local Government entities where no commercial market exists or where government legislation or general government policy requires the use of a government provider is exempt from the requirements of the MPPs (Exemption 2, CPGs). An example of government policy requiring the use of a government provider is the Legal Services Directions [] which are issued by the Attorney-General under the Judiciary Act 1903. Further information on tied legal work is available from the Attorney-General’s Department [].
