Queensland Government Procurement Assurance Portal: User guidance

supplier is registered with the pre-qualification System of the Building Policy Framework or National Prequalification System for Civil Construction contractors
supplier is under a common use supply arrangement published in the Queensland Government Arrangements Directory
procurement value is less than $50,000 (including GST) as outlined in the Queensland Procurement Policy.

The Portal enables agencies to:

verify supplier accountability by reviewing a supplier’s history of unmet commitments to the Code
make informed decisions with whole-of-government, point-in-time information on supplier outcomes, investigations and exclusions
streamline due diligence through a centralised, authoritative supplier record
reduce exposure to reputational and financial risk by identifying suppliers with adverse outcomes, sanctions or exclusions prior to engagement, renewal or extension.

How to conduct a search

Step 1: Log in
Existing users can log in to the Portal with their user credentials. For information on how to gain user access, refer to Queensland Government Procurement (QGP) Assurance Portal: User access.

Step 2: Open the search function
From the left‑hand menu, select ABN/ACN Search.

Step 3: Enter supplier details
Enter the supplier's Australian Business Number (ABN) or Australian Company Number (ACN) and select ‘Find’. You can search for up to 30 suppliers at a time.

Step 4: Review supplier status
Review the search results to determine whether the supplier
- has any outcomes relating to moderate and/or major unmet commitments
- is subject to ongoing contentious investigation
- is sanctioned or otherwise excluded from supplying to government.

Where applicable, the Portal will show the

outcome type (for example: PAM Improvement Notice, suspended sanction or sanction)
date the outcome was applied
duration the outcome remains in force
term of the exclusion (if relevant), as well as any applicable conditions.

Step 5: Export the results
Search results can be exported to Excel, saved and stored in line with agency recordkeeping requirements; however, the Portal automatically saves all searches to the user’s profile.

Supplier history remains visible on the Portal for three years after a sanction expires or three years from the issue date of an Improvement Notice, after which time it is no longer visible to procuring agencies.

Registered users can view previous searches by selecting ‘Previous search history’ under ABN/ACN Search at the bottom of the page.
