The Shadow Economy Procurement Connected Policy (PCP) – Increasing the integrity of government procurement, has been updated and revised commencing 1 October 2024. This revised policy applies to new and existing approaches to market which close on or after 1 October 2024, for procurement valued at $4 million or more (including GST) for all goods and/or services, including for construction services. Information on the Shadow Economy PCP is available on the Selling to Government website on the Minimum requirements page and on the Treasury website.
