The Board has established an Agency Accreditation Scheme for government procurement to assess agency capability to undertake different levels and/or types of good and services procurement (the Scheme). The Scheme is currently incorporating the Agency Accreditation Scheme for Construction into itself, as well.
Agencies only have authority to enter into any procurement arrangement consistent with its terms of accreditation. Where an agency intends to enter into any procurement arrangement which is inconsistent with its terms of accreditation, it must follow the processes established by the Board from time to time (currently Board Direction 2013-03).
