NSW government agencies' use of consultants /
SHPN (RHD) 220941. Title from title screen. "The NSW Procurement Board is responsible for setting procurement policy, issuing directions to support policies, and monitoring and reporting on agency compliance with policies and directions. NSW Procurement, a division within NSW Treasury, supports agencies to comply with the NSW Procurement Board's policies and directions. A 'devolved governance model' is used for procurement in New South Wales. This means the heads of government entities that are covered by the NSW Procurement Board's directions are responsible for managing the entity's procurement, including managing risks, reporting and ensuring compliance, in line with procurement laws and policies. This audit assessed how effectively NSW government agencies procure and manage consultants. It assessed the role of the NSW Procurement Board and NSW Procurement in supporting and monitoring agency procurement and management of consultants. It also reviewed a sample of consulting engagements from ten NSW government agencies to examine how agencies procured, managed and reported on their use of consultants. The ten NSW government agencies were: NSW Treasury,Department of Communities and Justice, Department of Customer Service, Department of Education, Department of Planning and Environment, Department of Premier and Cabinet, Department of Regional NSW, Infrastructure NSW, Sydney Metro, Transport for NSW." -- Page 1.
