From time to time the Office will issue tender requests for products and/or services.  Tenders range from short-term engagements for performance audits and corporate development, to long-term contracts (up to 5 years) for financial audits undertaken on behalf of the Auditor-General.  Tender administration is undertaken in compliance with the Victorian Government Purchasing Board Guidelines.
