Probity, Governance and Assurance

Procurement decisions that stand up to scrutiny.

High-value and contested tenders attract attention, from unsuccessful bidders, from auditors, from boards, and sometimes from the media. Independent probity and governance oversight gives you confidence that the process was fair, defensible and properly documented. It also gives everyone involved a clear record of how the decision was reached, which is what you need if the process is ever questioned.

Who this is for

Boards and audit and risk committees seeking independent assurance over a procurement decision

Corporates running a complex, high-value or contentious tender

Delivery partners and consortium leads managing procurement on behalf of a public sector client

Organisations that have had a process challenged and want the next one to be watertight

What you get

Probity advice through a live tender, from planning through to award
An independent probity report suitable for a board, audit committee or client
Governance review of a current or completed procurement, with findings and practical recommendations
Review of evaluation plans, conflict of interest processes and record keeping before the process opens
Advice framed against the Western Australian Procurement Rules and the Procurement Act 2020, or against your own governance framework

How it works

A 30 minute discussion to understand the procurement, the risks and the timing.

A written scope and fee proposal, with the level of involvement matched to the level of risk.

Engagement through the process, reporting at the points that matter to your board or your client.
