Consultancy Services let during 2008-09
The Department of Finance and Deregulation’s policy on selection and engagement of consultants is outlined in Chapter 10: Purchasing and Asset Management.

Glossary to the Table
Methods of selection
The methods of selection used for consultancies are categorised as follows:
- Open Tender: A procurement procedure in which a request for tender is published inviting all businesses that satisfy the conditions for participation to submit tenders. Public tenders are generally sought from the marketplace using national and major metropolitan newspaper advertising and the Australian Government AusTender internet site.
- Select Tender: A procurement procedure in which Finance selects which potential suppliers are invited to submit tenders. For procurements with a contract value of $80,000 or more (or $9 million or more for construction projects), a select tender process may only be conducted in accordance with certain procedures and circumstances set out in Division 2 of the Commonwealth Procurement Guidelines.
- Panel: An arrangement under which a number of suppliers, selected through a single procurement process, may each supply goods or services to Finance from time to time as specified in the panel contracts. Quotes are sought from suppliers who have pre-qualified on Finance panels to supply to the government
- Direct Sourcing: A procurement process, available only under certain defined circumstances, in which Finance may contact a single potential supplier or suppliers of its choice and for which only a limited set of mandatory procurement procedures apply.
Reasons for the use of external resources

- A: Skills currently unavailable within agency
