Procurement

Melbourne Polytechnic is a public sector agency of Victoria. It is committed to ethical, sustainable and socially responsible procurement. Melbourne Polytechnic requires that all its suppliers meet the requirements of the Victorian Government’s Supplier Code of Conduct. The Code is applicable to all general government sector contracts, agreements, and orders for the supply of goods and services, and construction works and services.

The Code outlines the minimum ethical standards in behaviour that suppliers will aspire to meet when conducting business with, or on behalf of, the State in the areas of:

  • integrity, ethics and conduct;
  • conflict of interest, gifts, benefits and hospitality;
  • corporate governance;
  • labour and human rights;
  • health and safety; and
  • environmental management.

In undertaking procurement activity for goods and services, Melbourne Polytechnic follows the Victorian Government Purchasing Board’s Supply policy framework and the principles of:

  • Value for money
  • Accountability
