Minter Ellison's popular report on the fundamentals of doing business in Australia.
Our probity and procurement team has worked with numerous government departments and agencies on a wide range of sensitive major procurement projects. Our probity services include preparing and overseeing adherence to and maintenance of project probity plans, probity checks and probity briefings, overseeing and advising on procurement and related processes and documentation to ensure compliance, and dealing with specific probity issues as they arise, advising on communications to industry, agencies and ministers, preparing probity reports on procurement and related processes and final probity signoff. We provide up front advice to minimise the risk of probity issues arising, and develop practical solutions if they do. Our aim is to ensure that clients are protected — by being able to demonstrate how their processes comply with legislation and policy, and are fair, consistent and ethical. Our extensively knowledge of the Australian Government's procurement framework, including the Commonwealth Procurement Guidelines, Good Procurement Practice and the Guidance on Ethics and Probity in Government Procurement, means we are ideally positioned to partner with government at all levels to maintain the highest standards of probity.
