Category 1: Excellence in delivering on the objectives of the Queensland Procurement Policy

To nominate in this category, you will provide a justification on how an individual or project team has delivered the principles of the Queensland Procurement Policy which include:

• putting Queenslanders first when securing value for money – ensuring value for money reflects more than just lowest price
• advancement of economic, environmental and social objectives – supporting the long-term wellbeing of our community
• integrity, probity and accountability – ensuring procurement is undertaken with integrity, and that probity and accountability for outcomes is maintained
• leaders in procurement practice – professionalising the procurement discipline and building procurement capability, to ensure buyers can deliver better outcomes and engage with the market effectively
• working together to achieve outcomes – across agency boundaries to improve procurement outcomes
• governance and planning – focusing on a strong planning approach that maintains the confidence of stakeholders and the community in the management of procurement.

For clarity, your response need not address all the above principles – it can address one or some of the above.
