Public reports
The Department of Treasury and Finance offers several reports relating to procurement with the aim of providing transparency to the public and support identification of procurement opportunities for suppliers. The current reports available include:
- Who Buys What and How – contains contract and expenditure information relating to the goods, services and works of government agencies sourced from Tenders WA, Common Use Arrangement (CUA) sales data and other expenditure reports. In addition, it includes information relating to the Aboriginal Procurement Policy.
- Strategic Forward Procurement Plan (SFPP) – contains a list of planned procurements valued at $250,000 and above across two financial years, including goods, services, community services and works procurements.
Both reports are updated annually and presented on a financial year basis.
