Supplier verification
The Department requires suppliers to be independently verified via Eftsure prior to onboarding. This ensures that all supplier details are accurate and that future payments are made to the intended recipient.
eInvoicing
The Department is now eInvoice enabled which means our suppliers can send us digital invoices. A valid eInvoice can be paid by the Department within 7 calendar days from date of receipt of a correctly rendered eInvoice or the provision of goods and services (conditions apply).
No Purchase Order No Pay Policy
The Department of Justice has a 'No PO, No Payment' policy. When a supplier submits a tax invoice it must quote a valid purchase order (PO) number provided by us.
A tax invoice that does not quote a valid purchase order number will be returned back to the supplier for correction.
The ‘No PO, No Pay’ policy ensures that tax invoices received can be processed efficiently to minimise delay to suppliers.
We encourage you to contact the Business Area that you are dealing with to obtain your correct purchase order number.
Becoming a registered supplier – Goods and Services
The Department of Justice follows the Western Australian Procurement Rules, which include provisions for working with Aboriginal business or Disability enterprise.
When buying goods and services, we are required to use the following instruments:
- Common Use Arrangements (CUAs) set up by the Department of Treasury and Finance.
- Agency-specific contracts.
- Sole supplier exemptions.
Potential suppliers are encouraged to contact the Department of Treasury and Finance to explore joining the relevant arrangements and register in Tenders WA to receive information about upcoming opportunities.
