Procurement governance
The Queensland Government has established a governance framework to support its agency-led, centrally enabled procurement operating model.
This framework aims to strengthen our procurement governance and engagement with industry.
Understanding our governance framework
The following groups provide the support, guidance and strategic direction to deliver the Queensland Government procurement operating model and their roles are identified in the Queensland Government Procurement Policy 2026.
- The Queensland Government Procurement Committee provides direction, informed deliberation and strategic advice about whole-of-government procurement and category management activities.
- The Procurement Ministerial Advisory Council (PMAC) provides a platform for the Minister responsible for government procurement to collaborate with industry leaders on the strategic positioning and optimisation of the Queensland Government’s procurement direction, including to procurement opportunities for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
- The category councils, with the support of category lead agencies, oversee and direct strategic procurement activities for 6 categories of expenditure:
- Building construction and maintenance (Department of Housing and Public Works)
- General goods and services (Department of Housing and Public Works)
- Information and communication technology (Department of Customer Service, Open Data and Small and Family Business)
