Queensland Government Chief Procurement Office is the Queensland Government’s expert in procurement policy, practice and education. The State Purchasing Policy (2000) identifies the requirement for state government departments and agencies to adopt strategic procurement planning. Under the roles and responsibilities laid down by the State Purchasing Policy (section 4.3), Queensland Government Chief Procurement Office has a responsibility to provide a purchasing training and certification regime for departments and agencies. All agencies, under the State Purchasing Policy, are required to implement strategies that develop the necessary purchasing related skills to meet its purchasing objectives.
Staff at Queensland Government Chief Procurement Office have spent several years pioneering strategies and programs to improve purchasing methods. This work has helped us to provide leadership in procurement planning in government and to develop the Queensland Government Chief Procurement Office Certification training programs designed to upgrade the capabilities of government procurement personnel.
