Provision of Professional and Associated Services

The ANAO is proposing to establish a Refreshable Standing Offer Arrangement for the provision of Professional and Associated Services.

The ANAO’s purpose is to support accountability and transparency in the Australian Government sector through independent reporting to the Parliament, and thereby contribute to improved public sector performance.

The Auditor-General and the staff of the ANAO play an important role in the process of public accountability by providing the Parliament, the Executive, and Management with an independent assessment of the operations of public sector organisations. The ANAO’s Executive and staff are located in Canberra.

The ANAO provides its principal client, the Parliament, with approximately 50 published audit reports annually. These reports include performance audits and financial statement audits. The ANAO also has a close working relationship with the JCPAA which reviews the audit reports on a quarterly basis.

Through the audit and related services provided to the Parliament by the Auditor-General and the ANAO, the Australian public can have confidence that the Auditor-General is examining and reporting on the actions of Commonwealth entities and whether public resources are being used economically, efficiently, effectively, and ethically.

Accordingly, the ANAO invites suitably qualified consultants/contractors to submit a tender for the establishment of a Standing Offer for the Provision of Professional and Associated Services.
