APS Values and Code of Conduct

The APS values are available on the Australian Public Service Commission website.

Suspected Code of Conduct breaches

The Agency Procedures for Determining Suspected Breaches of the APS Code of Conduct (PDF 746KB) gives guidance around breaches.

We must follow special rules when procuring goods and services. These are called the Commonwealth Procurement Rules (CPRs).

Covered procurements

According to the Government Procurement (Judicial Review) Act 2018, a covered procurement is:

• a procurement where both Division 1 and 2 of the CPRs apply
• usually an Open or Limited Tender using the Conditions for Limited Tender outlined in part 10.3 of the CPRs
• where the procurement value is at or above the following thresholds:
  - $80,000 (including GST) for procurements other than construction services
  - $7.5 million (including GST) for procurements of construction services
  - not otherwise exempt from compliance with Division 1 and/or Division 2 of the CPRs.

Submit a procurement complaint (PDF 385KB) if you think we've breached the CPRs. It must be in relation to a covered procurement that will affect your interests.

How we respond to complaints

We will:

• let you know we received your complaint
• check if your complaint is valid
• stop the procurement if your complaint is valid (except when a Public Interest Certificate is in force)
• investigate the complaint within 7 working days where possible
• ask you to confirm in writing if the complaint is resolved
• give you five working days to respond to our re

We make details available on the contracts we've entered into.

These details are pursuant to the Senate Order on non-corporate Commonwealth entity contracts.

2023-2024 Financial Year

AusTender publishes details of procurement contracts.

GrantConnect publishes details of non-procurement contracts.

These contain information on the contracts we've entered into that are:

• to the value of $100,000 or more (including GST)
• haven't fully performed as at 30 June 2024, or
• have been entered into during the 12 months prior to 30 June 2024.

Most of the contracts listed contain confidentiality provisions of a general nature. These protect the parties carrying out the contract.

The reasons for these clauses include:

• ordinary commercial prudence for protection of trade secrets, proprietary information and the like
• protection of other Commonwealth material and personal information.

As an accountable authority, our listed contracts don't contain any inappropriate confidentiality provisions.

The estimated cost of complying with the Senate Order is $1,000.

You can also access archived Senate Orders on Entity Contracts.
