New Procurement Board Direction 2026-03 KPMG procurement restrictions

This board direction instructs all government agencies to suspend starting any new procurement activities involving KPMG.

This applies across all government procurement arrangements including whole-of-government schemes or panels, agency-specific schemes or panels, and procurements outside those arrangements.

The relevant Department Secretary (or delegate) must provide written approval for engagements with KPMG that come from in-flight procurement activities involving KPMG, or current engagements with KPMG that are subject to extension, renewal or variation.

All new, extended, renewed, or varied engagements with KPMG also need to be reported to the Procurement Board.
