Reader’s Guide:
- These Directions:
- require relevant CAC Act bodies to apply all of the Commonwealth Procurement Guidelines (CPGs) when undertaking a “covered procurement”, but do not require them to apply any of the CPGs for non‑covered procurement; and
- allow relevant CAC Act bodies to choose to use coordinated procurement contracting arrangements under the CPGs.
- These Directions modify six concepts from the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997, as used in the CPGs, to allow them to be replaced with concepts that can apply to the relevant CAC Act bodies. For example, references in the CPGs to “an agency” are to be read as references to “the relevant CAC Act body”: refer clauses 5 and 6.
- The Directions apply to the relevant CAC Act bodies listed in Schedule 1 to the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Regulations 1997.
