Whole of Government Professional Advisory Services Arrangement

⁠⁠⁠Procurement ACT is planning to approach to market to establish a new professional advisory services arrangement with categories being progressively released to market. This new arrangement will replace the existing Professional and Consulting Services Panel.

The new arrangement will give us the opportunity to improve our current service offerings and ensure that they continue to meet the evolving needs of our stakeholders. We are exploring opportunities to enhance the new arrangement to make it more accessible for small and medium enterprises and local and diverse businesses throughout its term. This change aligns with our commitment to the Territory’s Charter of Procurement Values.

Updates on the tender release date will be provided in the coming months.

Note: The estimated advertising date for the new arrangement is indicative only. The Territory is not obliged to proceed on that date and may adjust timelines as needed.

What’s happening with the current panel?

To maintain continuity of services, the current Professional and Consulting Services Panel has been extended until 30 November 2026. Territory buyers may continue to use the existing panel or approach the market where it delivers better value for money outcomes.
