Environmental Considerations in Procurement Activity
DELWP is committed to minimising the environmental impact of the goods and services purchased to meet DELWP requirements. DELWP aims to meet this commitment by:
- Purchasing goods and services that have reduced impacts on the environment, compared with competing goods and services that achieve the same function and value for money outcomes
- Defining environmental procurement priorities based on assessment of environmental risks and their ability to influence environmental outcomes
- Considering environmental impact when defining specifications for goods and services
- Assessing the potential environmental impact of entering into a commercial engagement with a supplier, where appropriate.
Procurement and Ethical Employment
DELWP is committed to ensuring that all providers of goods and services to DELWP meet all obligations to their employees under any applicable industrial instruments recognised or registered under the National Workplace Relations System.

DELWP’s Procurement Framework
DELWP’s procurement framework is underpinned by high standards of probity, accountability and flexibility, with a focus on:
| Value for money | This judgment takes a range of financial and non-financial factors into account, including the mix of quality, cost and resources; fitness for purpose; total cost of ownership; and risk. |
|---|---|
| Accountability | The Accountable Officer may conduct procurement activities and reviews to provide value-for-money outcomes. |
| Probity | Procurement activities and processes are held to high standards of behaviour and actions,, including equity, confidentiality, avoiding conflicts of interest, and upholding consumer/supplier confidence in the integrity of government procurement processes. |
| Scalability | The complexity of a procurement project is measured against the tendering organisation’s capability to conduct it to achieve a good procurement outcome. |
