Good procurement is more than just a process. It can be a powerful tool for delivering effective services, driving outcomes, and building public trust. In light of the recent updates to the Commonwealth Procurement Rules, this is a practical and timely webinar on best practices for striking the right balance between probity, integrity and performance in procurement across the Australian public sector.

In addition, procurement is playing an increasingly important role in the AI and digital transformation of government agencies, serving as a key lever for adopting innovative technologies and partnering with the private sector to deliver smarter, more efficient services.

Through best practices and real-world examples, this webinar will explore:

  • Why strong probity processes are essential for maintaining public trust in government decision-making,
  • How to build confidence in procuring secure and effective AI products and services,
  • Strategies for navigating complex procurement environments without compromising high standards, and
  • The role of the private sector as a strategic partner in delivering whole-of-sector solutions.

Whether you’re directly involved in procurement or simply want to better understand its impact, this webinar will give you the tools and practical approaches to lead high quality, effective and outcome-driven work.
