Procurement and Contract Management Policy

Procurement plays a vital role in the delivery of RDC outcomes, with a significant variety of goods, services and works being purchased from third party suppliers.

The purpose of the RDC Procurement and Contract Management Policy is to articulate RDC’s commitment to the responsible, effective, and fit-for-purpose procurement of goods, services and contract management.

This Policy identifies the authority, responsibilities and operational parameters for prudent procurement decision-making, and the effective management of contracts and associated legally-binding agreements. Guidance documents for this Policy are available for staff or under development.
