(4) The establishment of the Agency is a Government initiative to ensure that the purchasing requirements of the public sector and as far as possible the private sector can be identified by ACT suppliers so they can compete. I announced the establishment of the Agency in a media statement on 17 September 1992.
The Agency has been established within Public Works & Services of my Department as that area has responsibility for Supply Policy, tendering Capital Works, contracting for a wide range of capital goods and services on behalf of other agencies and is actively involved in ACT and National supply and construction activities.
Since the establishment of the Agency, the following activities have been undertaken:
Help line - A help line, both telephone and fax, has begin set up and staffed by officers in the area during normal business ..curs which can provide advice to both suppliers and purchasing officers.
